A New Quarter and Fresh Start
This
Thursday
October 28, 2010 ends the first quarter of sixth grade. Wow! That went fast. As we begin a new quarter we would like to remind parents where they may find useful information to help their child have a successful second quarter.
Team coupons will be replaced on the first day of the quarter with clean fresh ones. Remind your child that you will look for this coupon stapled in their assignment notebook. This coupon will alert you of any missing assignments that may occur throughout the quarter. As always homework should be copied in the assignment notebook nightly from the classroom board. Remember students, to mark N/A in your notebook when there is no assignment so that you will know that you did not just forget to write it down. If for some reason you did not write it down you know you can go to the team website www.bbhcsd.org/start/middle and click on the 6Red link to find our home page where homework is listed.
We have had a great number of absences this past quarter. There is really something going around. If your child is absent for a few days, please have them checking the website when they are feeling well enough. If they see what we are working on in class, many of them can go to their online text and follow along. This makes the transition back to school so much less stressful for your child. In addition if your child has been absent for a few days they may need to make an appointment with their teachers during their study halls to get caught up. If your child does not have a study hall where their teacher is available, they may need to make arrangements to come in early or stay after school to get further instruction.
We are looking forward to a great second quarter and a chance to really see the growth in our students. As always feel free to email us with any concerns or questions you may have.
