1. Mrs. Parr’s Classroom News October 7TH- October 11th Dear Parents, I hope everyone had a great weekend! I have noticed a problem with some of our students not turning in their homework. Please make sure students are taking the time to complete all of their assignments. Any assignments they don’t complete affects their grade in the classroom. To encourage students, I’ve told the class if we have everyone turn in all their homework they will earn a star for the class. Please call or e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns.
