Appointments

Appointments with teachers may be made through the school office by phone or by a written note directly to the teacher.  Please do not go to the classroom without an appointment.  Do not phone teachers at home unless they have requested you to do so.

 

Appointments for consultation with the Principal regarding classroom matters may always be made, but only after the matter has been discussed with the classroom teacher.

 

Each Wednesday the Family Envelope is sent home with the oldest child in the family.  The purpose of the Family Envelope is to update any changes on the calendar, to inform parents of upcoming school and sporting events, and to keep the line of communication current between parents and school.  It is important that all information in the Family Envelope is read carefully.  It is the responsibility of the oldest child to return it the following day signed and with all requested responses.  Moneys for specific collections, field trips, scrip, and lunch cards etc. are to be sent in a separate envelope labeled with the child’s name, grade and amount of money and placed inside the Family Envelope.  Please only send exact amounts.

 

A $1.00 replacement fee will be charged for all Family Envelopes lost, mutilated or not returned for two consecutive weeks.

 

The purpose of homework is to reinforce material already taught and to foster habits of independent study.  Not all homework is written.

Parents can be of great assistance by checking over assignments and materials; thus, encouraging their child/ren to work to their potential.

Suggested daily homework schedules are as follows:

Grades 1, 2	One-half hour
Grades 3, 4	One hour
Grades 5, 6	One and a half hours
Grades 7, 8	Two hours

If a student regularly takes more time than indicated above, parents should discuss this with the teacher.
