Internet: Soon, grades will be available electronically for parents to view at home. More information will come from Mrs. Mineard when this is ready to view.
Report Cards: Sent home on a Friday for Q1, Q2, and Q3. Return the envelope signed with your child on Monday. Keep the contentsQ4 Report Card is mailed several days after the end of schoolSpecials Report Cards (Art, Music, PE) are completed by semester.

AgendasPurpose: To be used as an organizational tool by students and as a communication system by parents/families and teachers
They are to be signed each weekend by an adult.We check every Monday.
Reward- less than 6 signatures = Invitation to Quarterly Reward Party
Consequences for signatures:3 = call to parent6 = loss of Quarterly Reward Party9 (and every 3 after that)= after school detention in
cafeteria and parent has to pick up at 4:15pm12 = Administrators brought in for help
The good news… If your child is stressed by signatures, if s/he goes 5 days without one, s/he can bring the Agenda Book to a teacher, show her, and she will cross out one signature!!
