Good Evening!
The children, not all but most, are having quite a bit of difficulty getting organized. They have a bunch of folders and notebooks that they need to keep track of. This is why we have them color coded so that it is easier for your child to identify which books and folders they need.
We have been working through this matter together and it will be an ongoing work in progress,
Please remind your children frequently that they need to be organized.
They tend to be forgetting folders, notebooks and even homework on a daily basis. This has and will result in grades being lowered due to things missing or not being turned in on time. Now remember, we do have the late policy where if a child forgets a homework, they have a day to make it up without getting penalized. However, if they still do not hand in the homework the next day, then they will receive a zero.
Some children have received zeroes already for missing homework and not making it up.
On another note, which has to do with being organized... Papers and packets and such being sent home (or even in class). They are responsible for these papers and packets. I make extra copies for everything, but it just seems to be getting out of control with the amount of papers the children are misplacing. It then becomes an issue for me to make extra copies. I am unable to make copies at the time of the missing papers because I do not have a copy machine. So this may take days for me to make another copy.
Please work with your children like I am and will continue to, to become more organized.
Thank you for your support.
