Friday Folder

Each Friday the students will bring home a large manila envelope containing the graded work they have received during the week. Also any fliers which are distributed by the office will be included.

It is suggested that the parents go over the contents of the envelope on Friday evening and help their child set out a schedule for any activities that need to be completed. The folder and the reaction sheet is to return to school on Monday.

Friday Notes

Each Friday you will receive a letter called What’s Happening to inform you about how things are going in the classroom.

There are three boxes at the bottom. The first is where the student indicates what they have accomplished this week and sets goals for the next week. The second is for me to provide my reaction to the student’s accomplishments. The third is for you to write your opinion of how things are going. You may use this space to compliment your child on a well-done assignment or to communicate with me about issues at home. Please at least sign this box so your child can return it to school on Monday with the empty Friday folder. 

In the folder that this note comes home in are all of the assignments that have been graded for the week. Explanations of grading procedures appear in other parts of the Fifth Grade Handbook.
