3B NEWSLETTER for
At
the beginning of each week, each third grade student will receive a 3B
newsletter. Starting next week, those
students who have completed all classwork/homework
assigned by Mrs. Barnes will have his/her name written in red on the top left
corner of the newsletter. Those who have
not completed all work assigned by Mrs. Barnes will have a list of incomplete
work attached to the newsletter. A study
check will be given for work that is at least one week late. A zero will be given for work that is not
turned in within two weeks from the date the work was assigned. At least 5 points will be deducted for work
that is turned in late. Also, up to 5
points will be deducted for not having assignments correctly headed (first and
last name, subject, date).
