It will also let you know if those assignments
still need to be completed.
If your child receives two or more “lates” in one
week, he/she will receive a Chiddix “red slip” and a
team after-school detention.
A note will be sent home for any detentions.

Student Reflections on the front of the My Week In
Review:
On Fridays,
students are given about 20 minutes to write their
reflections for the week.
We feel this is an invaluable activity that will
benefit them and provide insight into their learning for
you and us.
Please take a few minutes at the beginning of each week
to read over this information with your son or daughter
and discuss events and feelings from the previous week.
In addition, please note
that this writing comes home without teacher editing.
We do expect the students to use the writing
conventions they know, and, if they have time, to
proofread their work before turning it in; however,
there will likely be some occasional spelling or
grammatical errors.
We do note these convention errors and use this
information when planning future language arts lessons.
As the year goes on, we hope you will find fewer
and fewer mistakes in all of your child’s writing.
The primary purpose of this activity is to
promote communication and dialogue about your child’s
learning and school experience.
