Dear
Parents/Students:
Welcome to
the 2016-2017 school year at Ray Elementary.
On behalf of
the middle school team at Ray School, welcome back to school! We hope everyone had
an excellent and relaxing summer. We are looking forward to a school year
filled with a continued love for learning and growth. We look forward to
meeting you and working with you in building your child’s education. Parental support will be necessary in order
for all students to reach their potential and strive to succeed beyond it.
We
are looking forward to a very successful and exciting year and we know you are
too. We have high academic and social expectations for your child and will do
all that we can to help your child achieve those expectations. It is our goal to provide all students with
an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in our classrooms.
Below you
will find some needed information about some of the classroom policies.
Homework
Please let
your child know that homework is important.
Homework will be assigned daily.
Homework assignments reinforce concepts learned in class and are used to
assess the student’s understanding of those concepts. Incomplete and missing assignments will
result in grade reduction. Homework
should always be completed neatly and on time.
In addition, long-term projects will
be introduced and worked on in class and at home. Due dates will be fair and
strictly enforced.
Expectations:
Only your
child’s best behavior and work are expected and accepted at all times.
All students
must:
1) Be on their honor. Students must do their own work on homework,
class assignments, tests
and projects.
2) Respect themselves, classmates, and teachers.
3) Persevere. Always give 100% and be positive.
4) Be in attendance and be on time.
5) Students shall not engage in activities that
could cause harm to themselves or others.
6) Students should respect themselves, peers,
and their teachers. They shall not talk
to or
about themselves, another student, or a
teacher in a disrespectful or inappropriate manner.
7) Students are to have all homework completed
on the day it is due.
8) Students must be prepared each day by having
proper materials.
9) Students should dress in a respectable manner
and follow the Ray Parent and Student Handbook.
10) The
policies in the Student Code of Conduct book must also be followed.
Current grades are posted regularly for student and parent viewing. Use CPS Parent Portal to view student grades and attendance. Our
classroom blogs include many of the assignments, assignment due dates, and a
variety of other helpful information.
Thank
you for your commitment to your child's education and we look forward to seeing
you in the very near future.
Sincerely,
The
Middle School Team
