New Schedule

Dear Parents,

The principal's newsletter sent home on Friday, made mention of some changes due to budget cuts. Mrs. Terrell has been moved to 3rd grade, and myself, Ms. Bynoe, will be taking over her 6th grade Language Arts classes. I assure you that I hold adequate certification to take on this task. Her homeroom has been collapsed. Our 3 homerooms are now at 20 students each with little disruption to our daily routines. I have been and continue to work closely with Mrs. Terrell to bring about a smooth transition. Thank-you for your continued support,

Ms. Bynoe

Draft Due Dec. 8th, 2008

Good Afternoon Students and Parents,

Many of you have expressed confusion as to the Language Arts portion of our Roll of Thunder Project. The due dates are still in effect, and all work will be turned in during Language Arts with Ms. Bynoe. She is working closely with Mrs. Terrell to ensure that standards and expectations of excellence are still met by each student. On that note, please bring in your drafts of your business letter on Monday, December 8th.

Thank-you,
6th grade team

HOMEWORK POLICY/MATHEMATICS

Dear Parents:
The homework policy f0r math, grade 6, has changed and is as follows:
A late (or missed) assignment should be turned in on the due date.
If an assignment is missed, the student has the next school day to
turn that assignment in without penalty. Thereafter, five(5) points will
be deducted each day from their original homework grade of 100%.
The only exception is a note from you if a student was absent or a
doctors' excuse.
It is important parents that you make sure your son/daughter is being responsible and turning in all assignments on time.
Mrs. Marian Demoulin
Math Instructor
