Agenda Book Students are required to write their assignments for Social Studies in their Agenda book. You may also write notes to me in the Agenda book. I will write back! 6th grade students get 3 passes per class per marking period.

Honesty… …Is STILL the best policy! …Is expected of all students both in how they act and in how they complete their assignments.

Materials Needed for Success! Yellow spiral notebook The school store sells these for 25¢. I also have a limited supply for 25¢. Writing instruments Blue or Black pen OR Pencil for assignments. Green or Red or Purple for checking work.

Additional Supplies Colored pencils Crayons Markers Glue stick These materials are available in the classroom, but it would be helpful for students to have their own at home if at all possible. If not, students can borrow them from me. These supplies are also for sale in the school store at discount prices. Colored pencils Crayons Markers Glue stick Scissors

“What if my child needs help?” I am usually at school by 7:30 am. I can usually be here earlier with advance notice. I am usually at school until 4:00 pm. I can usually stay later with advance notice. I check my email in the evening up until 9:00 pm. I encourage students to email with questions about an assignment if they need help.

Mrs. Rettich's Wish List Parents often ask how they can help out. If you would like to do so, please take a tag from my wish board and send the item in with your child. Thank you for all you do to help me make my classroom a great place to learn!
