Parent-Teacher Communication
Agenda/Student Planner
Every student receives an agenda/student planner at the beginning of the year. Every assignment should be recorded daily and either checked (for assignments completed in class), or circled (for assignments to be completed as homework). Please check your student's planner every afternoon and discuss needed homework time with them. In general, other than special projects requiring extended due dates, all work not completed in class is due the next school day. An example of a student planner that is properly filled out should list the subject, assignment, page numbers, and problem numbers included. Each assignment will have a check mark if completed, or be circled or highlighted if it is not complete. An example follows:
MATH: √ p. 36, # 1-24, even, #27-30
Reading: √ The Cay, Chapter 6; W.S. Dat be True?
Language: √ DOL 7-8; Biography rough draft
Spelling: √ Pre-test
Social Studies: √ Caribbean notes
Science/Health: √ cell model
Progress Reports
Progress reports will be sent home at least twice per quarter for parent review. Please discuss the report with your child, sign it, and return it to me by the requested date. This is my assurance and yours that you are getting the information needed to help your child succeed.

I am available to take phone calls before 8:30 and after 3:20, when I am not teaching students. I am also available before and after school for conferences and meetings as needed.
