Take-Home Tuesday
Graded class work and test papers will be sent home with students in grades 1 st -3 rd on “Take-Home Tuesday” each week. Parents should sign the student’s papers and RETURN THEM TO SCHOOL BY THURSDAY! These papers are sent home for the specific purpose of providing parents with an indicator of your child’s classroom performance. This procedure also allows the parent to identify particular areas in which your child may require extra help at home. By sending the papers back, it allows the teacher to know that parents have seen their child’s performance in the classroom. If papers do not come back to school 3 separate times, then it is up to the parent to contact the teacher for a meeting before papers will be sent home again. Any questions on student work should be written on a sheet of paper and placed on top of the papers. This will allow teachers to see immediately that a parent has a question about a specific problem. 4 th and 5 th grade papers will be sent home by parent request. If you would like to receive weekly papers from the 4 th and5 th grade team, please email the teachers.
