- ALL homework books and assignments should be signed and dated by parents.
- Students should have at 3 - 5 sharpened pencils for school each day (this is a daily homework and should be a part of the packing routine). Sharpening pencils during class time is not allowed as sharpeners are not allowed (until I get an electric one)
