ATTENDANCE School begins promptly at 7:55 and ends at 2:05. It is important for your child to be there on time as instruction begins shortly after the bell rings. By being present and on time, your child will experience a greater level of success. If notice is given, I will do my best to gather the missing work if you wish to pick it up at the end of the day.
MANATEE MONEY Each student has a "checking account" containing Manatee Money. Money can be earned and deposited for demonstrating positive behavior, academic success, and good decision making. A student may have to withdraw money as a result of negative behaviors. Manatee Money can be used to purchase supplies in the classroom and/or at the monthly "5th Grade Flea Market" at which students buy and sell items from home.
FRIDAY FOLDERS Each week, a folder will be sent home with your child containing graded work and occasional school/classroom information. Please review these items, sign the folder, and return the following school day. |
