Fifth Grade Syllabus 2017-2018
Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Wilson will be your child’s 5th grade teachers. Most classes will be conducted within the homeroom classes. At times your student may be moved into the other 5th grade class with the other teacher and classmates, so that they can use the following teaching methods: RTI: Response to Intervention, co-teaching, cooperative learning, and integration of subjects. Students will have lockers in which to keep their backpacks, jackets, lunch boxes, supplies, and books not being used. Backpacks, jackets, and lunch boxes will go in the bottom locker. School supplies and books will be stored in the top locker. Students will take pencils, pen, paper, and AR books to each classroom. Textbooks will be taken to each subject. Lockers must be used properly and kept clean. Two pencils must be sharpened each morning during the morning routine.
A school supply list was sent home at the end of last school year. A list was also available at open house as well as the Vedette. This list is a basic list to get your student ready for the school year. If your child should need more supplies because they have depleted their supplies, then we will send a note home with your child letting you know what supplies they currently need. Items that will be used by the entire class are Kleenexes, baggies, hand sanitizer, and wipes. All other supplies will be maintained by your child. If we run out of the shared supplies we will send a note home to parents to help restock.
School begins at 8:20 each morning. The building doors open at 7:45 am. The students are the parent’s responsibility until 7:45 am. Students are to report directly to the gym and then if they eat breakfast report to the cafeteria. Please arrive early enough to eat breakfast and be prepared for the day to begin. Please look at breakfast and lunch choices before you come to school so that you are prepared to let your teacher know what you want to eat for lunch that day. You will sign in every morning with your homeroom teacher when you come to the classroom at 8:05.
A note must be written anytime the student is doing something other than their usual routine. If there is not a note for the child, they will follow what is on the updated bus list. These notes must be signed by the parent or guardian. Please contact the office if you need to make a change to your child’s normal routine. Lunch money should be in an envelope with the student’s name, grade, and amount on the front. This should be given to the teacher upon entering the classroom. It is the student’s responsibility to give all notes and lunch money to the teacher first thing in the morning.
Late Work Policy: If students use their time wisely during class, there should be no homework. However, if they have homework, assignments are expected by the next class period. If students are not completing their work they can be pulled from their 2nd Physical Education class to complete assignments. Students will be told in advance about tests and will be given study guides or practice work to help them prepare for their tests.
