  6. Science Expectations Absences: You can’t be successful if you’re not here! This is one of the most important aspects of your child’s education. Missing 2 days a month is too much. That’s 18 days per school year. Daily Routine: Either stamp homework or turn it, get out their agenda and warm-up to complete. Cell phones go in backpacks and backpacks go under the table.
