Binders

We are getting organized!!!

Last week each student put together a binder.  You can expect this binder to come home EVERY night!  Please ask your child about their binder and have them show you how it is organized.  Check for it each night, especially this week as your child is working on forming new habits and will probably need some extra reminders until they get in the "organized grove!"

Here's what you should see in your child's binder:

1.  Front Inside-Pocket: In the front inside pocket of the binder you will find graded papers, notes, and other important information that needs to come home.  This pocket should be cleaned out EVERY night!  If you need to send money, permission slips, weekly reviews, etc. back to school with your child; this is where it should go.  

2.  Assignment Notebook: Your child should be filling this out daily.  It will give you a clue as to what we are learning each day at school and should help your child remember what homework they have for the evening.  

3.  Pocket Tab-Dividers: There should be one for each subject.  Your child will keep important information and notes that they'll need for up coming test and projects behind each subject's tab.  Homework/assignments should be kept in the pocket of each tab to be turned in the next day.  All homework is due by 9:00 the day after it is assigned.  We do NOT accept late homework in 6th grade.
