Graded test papers
On Tuesday, I will be sending home checked and graded test papers from our Thursday and Friday assessments. Please take time to go over them with your child, sign and return it by Wednesday.
Important Reminders
- Restroom Policy: As a reminder, students may use the restroom during transitions and breaks. Please encourage your child to use these opportunities as repeated requests during class discussions will result in a clip down.
- Uniforms: Boys are required to wear belts. Please check that your child is in full uniform each morning. Uniform infractions will be issued if students are not compliant.
- Make-Up Tests: Parents, if your child misses a test, please email me to schedule a make-up session for Make-Up Monday. Without an appointment, your child will receive an NI (Needs Improvement) on the missed test. Remember, big tests are given every Thursday and Friday.
