contains important information regarding assessments, assignments and projects. It also
contains assignments from the day that may need to be completed as homework.

•If your child brings work home in the “Homework” section of the daily folder, this work needs
to be finished as homework, and should be turned in the next day.

• Please try to remind your student to bring a snack each day. We are letting them know it is
their responsibility to make sure they pack them.

• Chapel is every Tuesday morning. Please have your child wear the chapel uniform and
proper accessories (ties and cross-ties).
