Communication
Please be sure to check the yellow folder every night. Empty out the "Keep at Home" pocket. Anything marked "Return to School" needs to be completed and returned. You may put transportation notes or other notes in the yellow folder. I check folders every morning. I do not check backpacks, so please make sure anything important is in the folder.
Positive Behavior Tickets: If your child brings home one of these, it means that they were caught being ready, respectful, and responsible. It could be for weekly behavior or something special that student did. Students need to find a safe place at home or at school to keep these tickets. There will be a special event for students with 25 tickets.
