Third grade students will be very responsible this year. They will use
a planner to record their homework daily and Stonegate folder to
bring important papers to and from school.
Students will write their homework and any important messages in
their planner daily. The teacher will sign the planner daily ensuring
that the list is complete. Parents should check the planner every
night and sign daily to ensure homework is completed.
The planner also is a communication device between teacher and
parent. Planners can be purchased at the school office for $3.25, and
should be bought in the first week of school.
