Parent Homework
• Thank you for taking the time to tell me
about your child.
• If you did not tell me about your child “in
a million words or less”, you can grab a
letter on the way out.
Binders
• Your child’s binder helps organize all
handouts, tests, quizzes, etc. by being
assigned designated sections/pages.
• Regardless of the grade earned,
everything gets signed. You should be
signing grades about every 2 weeks.
• Your child’s binder gets graded at the end
of every quarter and counts as a quiz
grade.
• I try my best to update the information in
the parent portal on a weekly basis.
