Pack up & Dismissal
Yellow Folders
The yellow folder is their daily folder. It will travel with them
to their switch class. This folder should go home every day.
One side will be labeled with COMPLETE and one side will
be labeled with INCOMPLETE. Anything on the complete
side has been completed or is a work in progress. Anything
on the INCOMPLETE side should be completed for
homework. We give specific instructions daily as to which
side a paper should go on.
PLEASE DO NOT clean out their yellow folders. We clean out
yellow folders every Monday. Some papers are to be left in
there for many weeks.
RED
FOLDERS
RED FOLDERS GO HOME
EVERY MONDAY. THEY
NEED TO BE SIGNED AND
RETURNED WITHIN TWO
DAYS.
PINK -- GUTHRIE
PURPLE -- WEHMAN
AGENDAS/DAILY PLANNERS
A 4th Grade Peek-of-the-Week will
not be sent home. Each of us will
download our Peek to our webpage
on Mondays.
Students will have an
agenda/daily planner. Each day
they will write their assignments in
their daily planner. Their agenda
should go home every day. It is not
necessary to sign the planner.
HOMEWORK
Homework is not taken for a grade but is very important in learning,
reinforcing, and maintaining skills. We do try to limit the amount of
homework assigned and usually allow some class time to get started
on it. In your child’s agenda, if you see an assignment with a P.I.F.
beside it, then that assignment is for homework and can be found in
their yellow folder. P.I.F. stands for Put In Folder.
Each student will receive one homework pass at the beginning of
each grading period. They may use this homework pass one time per
grading period when they do not have their homework (for any
reason).
If your child does not have their homework 1 time in a week’s time,
then their Work Habits grade in their Monday Take Home folder will be
an N. If they do not have their homework 2 or more times in a one
week period then their work habits grade will be a U.
P.I.F. (put in
folder) means
Homework.
You should
find a P.I.F.
worksheet in
their yellow
folder.
T.I.B. (turn into
basket) means
a graded
worksheet.
This will not be
in their yellow
folder.
GRADED WORK
All graded work has to be completed at school—students are not allowed to
bring graded work home to complete.
When looking at your child’s agenda, if you see an assignment that has a
T.I.B. to the side of it, that means the worksheet is a graded piece of paper.
You will not find it in your child’s yellow folder. We will grade it and send it
home in their red folder on Monday. T.I. B. means Turn In Basket.
If your child has been absent, they can get to school as early as 7:30 to
makeup their work. They will be able to come into our classroom, and we
can work with them on what they missed.
