Last week I posted information regarding study guides.  It stated:

I am trying something new with the study guides for tests since it seems as if some students are still not taking home study guides.  It is very important that parents are involved in the process of helping your child with study skills also along with school.  WHEN THERE IS AN UPCOMING TEST A STUDY GUIDE IS DONE IN CLASS. STUDENTS WILL TAKE IT HOME AND IT NEEDS TO BE SIGNED THAT NIGHT BY A PARENT.  THIS SHOWS THAT YOU AS THE PARENT ARE MAKING A CONSCIOUS EFFORT IN HELPING YOUR CHILD SUCCEED.  IF IT IS NOT SIGNED I WILL TAKE PART OF YOUR CHILD'S RECESS AWAY SO PLEASE DO NOT TURN  THEM WHEN THEY ASK FOR HELP WITH THEIR STUDY GUIDE.  I AM ASKING YOU HELP IN GUIDING YOUR CHILD.  THANK YOU

WE ARE ALSO 1/2 WAY THROUGH THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIRD GRADE.  IT IS YOUR CHILD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE SURE THEY ARE KEEPING UP WITH ALL OF THEIR WORK AND WRITING IN THEIR PLANNER EVERY MORNING.  IF THEY DO NOT FINISH AN ASSIGNMENT IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN HOME AND TURNED IN THE FOLLOWING DAY.  LATE WORK PASSED A DAY WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED.  IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS ARE BECOMING MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN WORK AND ACTIONS.  PLEASE INSTILL IN YOUR CHILD BY HELPING THEM TO BECOME MORE RESPONSIBLE. 

Thank you for your time and God Bless
