Important Announcements
Important changes:
● We have a new class schedule. Please check Class Dojo to see the schedule.

● Homework will now be given on Tuesdays and Fridays. There will also be a
weekly test of spelling and vocabulary (see words below). This semester, I will
be including the results in the grades. Please help your child to practice
over the weekend and school week (we also practice during class).

● Please help your child to complete their homework for the next school day
(Wednesday and Monday). Late homework will not be marked; this will affect
their final grades. (If there is a good reason for not completing the homework,
please message me, Ms. Pin, or give your child a note to give to me.)

●
Late / tardy students will now be missing ELA (English literacy) class. Please
do your best to make sure your child is at school by 8.10 for assembly, and
no later than 8.20 for the first lesson.
