• Communication
• A vital part of a successful year is open and
  consistent communication between home and school.
• Take Home Folder
• This folder is brought home each night and
  contains all homework and any notes being sent
  home.
• Use this folder to send back homework, lunch
  money, or any notes.
• Please look through the folder each night with
  your child and empty the folder to help ensure
  that important papers are received.
• Please keep Homework Calendars in the folder so I
  can monitor student progress,

• Assignment Notebook
• This is a tool to keep students organized and
  responsible for their homework. It is NOT the
  parents job to locate the assignment notebook
  each night. Your child should bring their
  notebook to you.
• Assignment notebooks are filled out together
  every day.
• A parent or person responsible for the child
  needs to look the homework over, check the done
  box, and sign the bottom of the page.
• If the done box is already checked this means
  that the student completed the assignment at
  school and did not have to bring it home.
• Also check the notebook for notes written from
  Mrs. Doyle or notes stapled to the page. This is
  were missed assignment cards and behavior cards
  are also stapled.
• Mrs. Doyle stamps the notebook every night to
  make sure it is accurate and in the morning I
  sticker the notebook if there is a signature.

• Thursday Folder
• Your childs graded work will be handed back to
  him/her on Thursdays. They will bring it home in
  their purple Thursday Folder. This folder will
  keep you updated on your childs grades.
• Look through the folder with your child to
  discuss their progress, then sign the purple
  Thursday Folder sheet which lets me know that you
  have gone through the work with your child.
• Please keep the corrected papers and newsletter
  at home and return the folder to school the next
  day.
• This folder also has a pocket for our class
  newsletter. This is my way of letting you know
  what is happening in our classroom each week by
  posting important dates and curriculum being
  covered in class.

Academic ProgressReports

• Progress reports will be sent home at the third
  and sixth week of each quarter.

  quarter (nine weeks).

  and return to school.

  Home Folder.

  start most assignments.

  because of family obligations, please write me a
  note in your childs assignment notebook and your
  child will finish the work at recess.
