Conduct

The Conduct slip will be sent home each Tuesday to be signed and returned the next day. (The Conduct slip will be in the front pocket of the Assignment folder along with weekly tests.) Please sign and return the Conduct slip to school on the next school day. Your child will receive a conduct mark daily if the slip is not signed and turned in on time.  Please discuss and praise your child’s efforts on their tests and behavior.  It is important that your child realize you expect them to always do his/her best.

Conduct marks will be given when a child does not follow the rules listed below.  Please discuss these rules with your child.  Each conduct mark will be 1 point deducted from 100 for each rule broken.  The grade listed at the bottom of the conduct sheet will be their grade for the 9 weeks-grading period.  

Spelling Tests

A spelling list will be given to your child each week containing a list of the spelling words that go along with the weekly story.  These lists will stay in their poly-binder to be studied at home and at school.  The spelling tests will be given on Thursday each week.  

Reading Tests

WONDERS is the name of our new reading program. This program has 2 student books (one used on Mon. and Tues. and the other for the rest of the week). The tests will be on the story from the big book that they will carry home with them each night and skills (vocabulary, grammar, etc) we have covered during the week. Please help prepare your child for these tests by reading the story and going over class work and skills daily from their study guide.
