Welcome to 5A!  We have a great year ahead of us. 

** It is the responsibility of the student to copy down all homework assignments, due dates, and test dates into their agenda!  Parents, you can help your child excel in my class if you check your child's agenda periodically to ensure they are copying this information.**

Parents, if you need to contact me, please do so by: emailing me at fivea@stagathaonline.org,  sending a note with your child, or leaving me a voicemail message at extension 4236.

It is the students' responsibility to copy all homework and test dates from the board into their agendas!  Parents please check your children's agendas to make sure they are copying this information. 

Reminder: Students must read three Accelerated Reading books and take the quizzes each trimester.   Students are allowed to read a fourth book to drop their lowest grade.  Fifth graders must choose a book that is marked 5.0 (grade level) and above. It is the student's responsibility to check out an AR book and let me know when he/she is ready to take the quiz. Quizzes may be taken during Library (Tuesday) or Ticket to Read (Thursday) time.
