skyward – piperschools.net

Standards based and not accessible until later in the quarter---mid September.

Grades will be taken throughout but the goal is to show mastery of skills for the new 5th grade standards

MAKEUP WORK I will try to have makeup work ready and

waiting in the office by 1:30 p.m. That follows my plan period and gives me time to get it ready plus see what we all get to in the morning.

Rotation teachers may wait to get their work to them

All work will be in a folder and the student should turn all work back in in the folder at once.

Folder can be worked on at school and at home. Please make sure if they take it home they bring it back even if they do not finish so they can do in free time here.

BIRTHDAYS Birthday treats can be sent in if they are

store-bought.

With our schedule, it would help if you let me know your are sending them in so I can make sure to block off part of the day.
