MRS. L’s PROMISES
I Promise to:
• Give detailed assignment sheets for all
assignments
• Grade and return quickly with feedback
(within reason)
• Attach “How to’s” to assignments
• Post all papers on my website
• Stay on track with my Timeline
• Communicate with Classroom teachers and
parents when needed
PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Please try to:
• Stay organized and keep all assignments in a
“At Home” folder or other designated
location
• Follow up with your child(ren) regarding the
completion of all assignments
• Check the S.F. Envelope and Timeline
frequently
• Read all S.F. letters that are sent home
The Project
• The whole project is completed AT HOME, with
teacher guidance
• Parents will need to assist students with all or most
of the assignments
• SF Project receives its own letter grade on the
report card
• The whole project needs to be turned in completed
during the week of Dec. 7th, which means there is a
little over 2 ½ months to get the project finished.
