Some tips for success:
Check your child's assignment notebook and home folder every night.
Ask your child regularly if they have enough pencils, paper, notebooks, and folders.
Look out for completed papers, library books and other items to return to school.
Please notify the office with changes in phone numbers, home address or other contact information.
If your child stops, starts, or changes medication, notify the office even if they don't take it at school.
