Uniform Policy
Students are not allowed to wear cargo shorts.
Students must wear black or white shoes. They can be black and white, but no other color is allowed.
Students must wear a black or brown belt. No other colors allowed.
Students will receive a Uniform Violation form for any uniform violations.
Birthdays
It is school policy that we cannot have cupcakes for student birthdays unless it’s during Enrichment classes. An alternative can be to make goody bags for students. The birthday child will be allowed to pass them out at the end of the day.
Party invitations. I will pass them out discretely if all students are not invited.
Supply and Membership Fee
Thank you to those of you who have already paid your child’s supply fee and membership fees!!
I have already used some of the supply fee to purchase dry erase boards for each student, a learning calendar, and a set of Junie B. Jones books.
The membership fee will be used to pay for holiday parties as well as our class project for the Jubilee.
Student Books
Please cover your child’s text books so that they can be taken care of.
Reading books can be left at home. We will not use them in class.
Your child’s math workbook can be left at home; however, It’s not a good idea to work ahead in math. I prefer that you wait until the skill is taught.
Spelling workbooks can be left at home.
Homework
Homework will be checked daily on the day that it is due.
Please help your child label his/her homework in the homework notebook with the subject and date.
Please allow your child to use the whole sheet of paper before going to the next page and use the back of the page too. There’s no need to waste paper ;)
Please leave your child’s homework sheet in his/her folder at all times. I use it to check homework.

Teacher’s Corner: *Tear out each workbook page and return in in the homework folder the next day. Keep the books at home. * In order to receive credit for homework, it must be turned in on the day after it is assigned. No credit will be given for late homework. *Open House is Tuesday, Aug. 20th at 6:00. We hope to see you soon!
Please clean out your child’s folder daily. Students get confused when there are too many things in their folders.
All classwork can be removed. After homework is checked you may
remove it. Please do not remove homework unless it is
checked. There may be a situation that causes me not to be able to check homework. In such an event, I will check it the following day.
Tuesday Folder Tuesday folder’s will be sent home every
Tuesday. Please sign anything that needs to be signed and return it in that folder the following day.
Anything in the “Keep at Home” side can be removed from the folder and kept at home.
Failure to return the Tuesday folder on time will result in phone calls and behavior reports.
Tests The English and spelling tests will be given on
Thursday each week. The reading, math, and English tests will be
given on Friday each week. We will also have science and social studies
tests. They will be given on Friday each week. If the testing schedule needs to be changed for
any reason, you will be notified ahead of time. Tests will be stapled together along with
student’s checked homework sheet. They will be sent home each week in your child’s Tuesday folder. Please review the tests, sign the blue sheet, and return them in your child’s green folder.
Participation Chart
Students lose participation points for: not turning in homework on the day that it is due. Not following directions Not paying attention Not finishing work when we transition to another
activity. Not having supplies. Ex. sharpened pencils,
homework sheet, homework notebook, folder, etc. Participation is ¼ of the weekly grade. Points will
be averaged in with weekly test grades.
Class Wiki
You can get to our class Wiki through Marrero Academy’s website or you can go straight to it by using this address http://mrsmcelhannon.wikispaces.com/
There are several great resources for you to use with your child!
The homework will be posted each week on the homework tab.
Contact Information There are a few ways to contact me. You can send a note in your child’s
folder. You can email me at
[email protected]. I check my emails several times throughout the day. Please put your child’s name in the subject.
You can call the school office and leave a message. I will only get my messages during my planning and after school.
Pencil Policy
All pencils will be left at home. Students are to have five sharpened pencils for school each day. Sharpening the pencils will be part of their homework. We lose too much instructional time sharpening pencils each day. Students are not to bring hand sharpeners to class. Students will lose participation points for not having sharpened pencils.
Gretna Jubilee Most of you are probably familiar with
this event. Each class must make a basket and a project.
If you have any ideas, please let me know!
If you would like to help with the basket or project, please sign in on the Jubilee sheet.
Money PolicyPlease, please, please send all
money in a labeled envelope or ziplock bag. If you are out of envelopes or bags you can staple a note to the money.
Important Information If your child has any food allergies,
please let me know tonight. If your phone number, email address,
or home address change at any time, please let me know as soon as possible.
We will be using lots of technology and hand-on activities every week to practice Reading Comprehension, Phonics, Vocabulary, and Math.
Some examples include Starfall, Brain Pop Jr., Promethean Flipcharts, Poetry Powerpoints, foldables, story webs, letter tiles, word ladders, spelling word cheers, vocabulary BINGO, and a game called "Flip It Down.“Don’t think that we are not working if you
don’t see a lot of worksheets!
