Communication:
Kinder conference time is from 2:15-3:00 daily. We will also use Remind to communicate with you. If you did not sign up at Meet the Teacher night, please ask for a copy of the instructions to do so as soon as possible to stay connected to class/school events.
Kinder Grading:
This year Kindergarten is moving to a checklist for the grading system. If your child has a checkmark for that TEK it has been mastered. Each six weeks you will sign the report card and return it back to school. The first six weeks’ checklist will be given to you at the required parent conference in September.
Homework:
Homework will be assigned every day except Friday. Typically, Monday and Wednesday will be Math homework. Tuesday and Thursday will be Reading homework. Instructions for homework are given on the Homework Sheet Inside your child’s binder. Homework will not be graded, but is strongly encouraged. During the 2nd six weeks, we will begin introducing 1 sight word per week. Your child will be tested over these words at the end of each six weeks.
Homework Binder:
Please be sure to check your child’s binder every night. Please check binder pockets daily. Students are responsible for returning homework and library books. Teachers will NOT check student backpacks.
