  6. Student Agendas The day’s topic or activities should be written in your child’s agenda. Due dates for tests, quizzes, field trip forms etc. should also be written in your child’s agenda. Students are expected to bring their agenda to class everyday and home everyday. If students lose/misplace their agenda, they will be given a spiral notebook as a replacement or they may purchase a new agenda from the PTO room.

  7. Teacher-Parent Communication: Grades & Conduct Graded work will be sent home weekly in an Orange Plastic Folder called the “Tuesday folder.” All work should be signed by a parent and returned within 3 days. Students will have Red Conduct Folders with behavior logs. Conduct folders go home daily and should be signed weekly.

  8. How are conduct grades calculated? Formula per 9 weeks: 100 minus # of Needs Improvement Comments = Conduct grade on report card. 95-100 = E, 85-94 = S, 75-84 = P, 74 and below = U Example: If a student had 16 comments in the nine week period, 100-16=84 so P would be on the report card . Core Value(s) : 1) Be Safe 2) Be Respectful 3) Be Responsible 4) Committed to Learning Conduct Grades 5th Grade teachers follow the school-wide policy for calculating conduct grades. The red conduct folder is an important tool to help you know the status of your child’s conduct grade before report card time.

  10. Make-Up Work Students have 1 extra day to complete work for each day missed.
