Page | 4 Scholar Agendas On the first day of school, scholars will receive an agenda. This agenda will be a vital part of communication between home and school. The agenda will include all homework assignments, notes to parents from teachers, and a monthly calendar of upcoming events. Scholars will be taught how to use their agendas effectively during the first week of school. Please take the time to sign your child’s agenda daily to insure good communication between home and school. Organization One of our major goals is to help your child develop good organizational skills. For that reason, we try to be clear, specific, and consistent with our expectations. We will tell the scholars when folders or scholar purchased organizers, should be cleaned out, so please do not remove papers without their say so. Many papers in the folders can be “works in progress”. Therefore, it is very important that they are not removed. In general, folders may be emptied as designated below but not without prior permission from your child’s teacher: Math- after completion of unit ELA-after completion of unit Science/Social Studies- after completion of unit Writing/Language- after completion of unit Notebook Paper- should be filled nightly with notebook paper Take Home Pocket- emptied nightly Thursday Folders These plastic folders will be sent home every Thursday. Information within the folders will include graded assignments and school-wide notices. Inside the folder the left tab will be labeled, “Left at Home” and the right tab will be labeled, “Right Back to School”. Please take the time to review your child’s folder each Thursday and return all necessary papers AND THE FOLDER back to school Friday morning. HOUSE SYSTEM: Glen Avenue utilizes a house system: Timsah, Kayiman, Jacare, and Koena. Each house represents a positive characteristic such as honesty or courage. All scholars and staff will be assigned to a “house.” This house serves as a team in which scholars/staff support one another and advocate for doing well socially and academically.
