Agendas will be filled out nearly every day. Their agenda
will be checked before going home in the evening. You
will see a sticker by the weekday to know it has been
checked. Agendas are required to be signed nightly. The
agenda is an important tool for a successful student. A
student can’t be successful if they get home and can’t
remember what work they were supposed to get done!

Students have a book log “bookmark” to use while
they are reading. Every time they pick up that book
to read, they mark down what page they started
reading at and what page they stop reading at.
When they are finished with the book, they turn in
the bookmark and start a new one for their next
book! Book logs do not count against a student’s
grade, but a student will not get their Reading Circle
Certificate without them!

Up to date grades will always be available
through PowerSchool. I expect that all parents
are keeping up with grades by checking
assignments that come home graded and by
checking on PowerSchool. If you do not check
grades on PowerSchool and would like to, please
talk to Ms. Nancy in the office. If you would like
grades sent home, please let me know and I can
send home a report on Fridays. Mid term grade
checks will automatically be sent home at the
half way mark of the quarter and are to be
signed and returned to school.
Grades
To receive their Reading Circle Certificate (RCC), a sixth grader must
read 1,260 fiction pages and 720 non-fiction pages. Since that is
almost 2,000 pages, it equals to be about 500 pages per quarter.
Each student needs to be reading every single day, at school and at
home. If a student has not read 500 pages by the end of first quarter,
they will be required to have reading recess. If a student has not read
1,000 pages by the end of second quarter, they will be required to
have reading recess. If a student has not read 1,500 pages by the end
of third quarter, they will be required to have reading recess. If a
student has not received their RCC by April 15th, they will be required
to have reading recess until they get their RCC. Reading recess is only
on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Book It! program with Pizza Hut
begins in October and runs until April. For a student to receive their
free pizza coupon, they need to turn in completed bookmarks of at
least 200 pages. Reading for a free pizza is a great way to get the
RCC!

Along with the colored clip chart that we use as a school, I
am also going to use Class Dojo this year. I started using
Class Dojo last year and I’m excited to get more into it this
year. I am sending home a free parent invite for you to
sign up and download the app to your smart phone as
soon as possible. You can track your child’s behaviors and
skills at school AND keep in touch through the messaging
feature daily.
Throughout the day, your child will earn positive
points (signed agenda, being respectful, completing work on
time, participating, etc.) or may lose some points for things
that they may need to work on (no agenda, talking, not
returning homework on time, disrespect, etc).
With the messaging feature, you can message me at anytime
with questions. If you need an immediate response from me,
please do not use Class Dojo. I typically check Class Dojo
only once a day. I will also use this feature for reminders
and announcements.
Class Dojo
All work is given an appropriate time length,
depending on what the assignment is. Some
work may be due at the end of the day, but
most will be due the next day by 8:30am.
Some assignments may be due a couple of
days later. I am very understanding that
evenings are not always available for
schoolwork. Extracurricular activities are an
important part of being a well rounded young
adult. I try not to have too much as homework,
but there are times that homework is
unavoidable. If your student uses time wisely
at school, homework should be at a minimum.
Any assignment that a student has not finished
during the school day is considered homework.
This includes work that is done in journals.
Homework
In the case that work is not
turned in on time, the following
will happen: 5% will be reduced
if turned in the day it was due,
10% will be taken off the next
day. Another 10% will be taken
off for each day late. You will
know that your student turned
their work in late because it will
be stamped with RECEIVED and
then the date it was turned in.
Students that are sick will
always have time to get work
made up. I will always work with
students that get behind on
work. They just have to be
willing to talk with me about it!
