Classroom Community Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other. Our class rules are: Be respectful and responsible. Be organized and follow directions. Be on time. Be prepared.

Homework I will assign homework as needed. You must read for at least 20 minutes every night. You will get a “Hole Punch” on your HOT card if you return your homework the next day. If you need extra time to work on your homework, you can go to homework club during recess to work on it.

Tardiness School starts at 8:20 A.M. If you aren’t in the classroom by the time the second bell rings, please check in at the school office before coming to class. If you are tardy four times, the school will contact your parents.
