Dear Parents,

Graded papers and a progress report went home today with your child. Please sign the progress report (white copy) and send it back to me Monday. Also, individual school pictures will be taken Monday morning. Your child may not want to have his picture taken in the school uniform shirt. He may wear his "favorite", colorful shirt for this special occasion.

Have a great weekend.

Dear Parents,
All graded papers have been posted to mygradebook.com, and you can check your child's progress for this week (and weeks past). Several parents have been confused by the grades that first come up when you log on. If you click on "assignments" it will list tests by subject and dates recorded. I hope this helps with the understanding this new system.
Have a great weekend.
Mr. Melvin

Dear Parents,
I sent graded papers home this Friday. Be sure to ask to see them. They are stapled together with a "heavy-duty staple" and are listed from lowest grades to highest. There are about 10 tests in the stack.
Be advised that there are two tests that will be given Tuesday upon the class's return...a language and science test. The language test is over the Helping/Being/Linking Verbs found on p. 10 of their language book. We've been drilling them all week, and the class should do well on the test. The science test is over the questions found on p. 31 of their science book. This page contain the breakdown of the parts of a flower that they must know. I told the class at the end of the day to be sure and take their science and language books home to study. I hope they remembered.
Also, I plan to have all the class's grades posted by Sunday should you want to log on to mygradebook.com and see how your child is doing.

Have a great weekend.
Mr. Melvin

Homework for the week of August 25-29 

Dear Parents, Here are some things of interest.
1. You may check your child's grades on mygradebook.com starting this Monday afternoon. You will need the class password (0809 Sixth Grade) and a personal password your child has chosen to check the grades.
2. I keep the room cool and many of the students will want to bring something to put on their arms to stay comfortable. They may leave sweaters, coats, etc. on the back of their desks all year long.
3. There will be a test in each major subject weekly from this point on. These subject tests will fall on the same day of the week throughout the year with the exception of math and partial weeks (4 day weeks, etc.). For example:Monday usually has no tests; Tuesday has Language & Science; Wednesday has Geo./Hi.; Thursday has none; and Friday has Bible, Spelling, and Reading.
4. Graded papers will go home on Fridays. They do not need to be returned.
5. The week's assignments and other school information can be found on our web page at ccs-pc.net.
6. Progress reports will be sent home halfway through each nine weeks.
7. Each child is to copy the day's assignments on their steno pads. All work in class that is not completed becomes homework. Because lesson plans (emailed to you on weekends) are hopeful plans, the steno pad assignments may not always agree with them as they may contain adjustments. Always go by the steno pads if the two are in conflict. Over the next week or two, both the steno pad and lesson plans should become more and more in agreement as we are able to accomplish our goals.
8. Feel free to join us at lunch any day.
9. Please go through the office to get your child during the school day. Do not come to the classroom. All children must be signed out in the office by a parent or approved adult when leaving.
10. Music, PE, and Computer will be taught to your child as a special area activity and will be in other areas of the school rather than our classroom. PE will be held every day for sixth graders.
11. We use cursive only in the sixth grade...no printing.
12. On spelling tests, the word must be written correctly with the proper cursive letters or it will be marked incorrect even though the child can spell the word orally. This week I learned that many of the students are forming letters incorrectly. I have placed the cursive alphabet on the wall, and the students may glance up at it for help during the test. By the way, i's not dotted and t's not crossed are marked incorrect.
13. The workbook pages in spelling constitute 50% of their spelling grade. The students need to be in the habit of doing those pages weekly.
14. Grades are figured as follows: Tests (60%); Quizzes (30%); daily work (10%).
15. Be sure to check your email regularly as I will be sending your information throughout the year on a consistent basis.
16. School begins at 7:55; the tardy bell rings at 8:00. The gym opens for students who arrive early at 7:30. If we have poor weather (rain, too cold, etc.) the students go to the gym before school...not the classroom.
17.Cell Phones are to be turned off during school hours (7:55-3:15). Parents, if you need to contact your child, call the office and they will relay any messages or call your child to the office to speak with you.
18. Please use permanent ink to mark all belongings...especially PE clothes, coats, sweater, books, lunch boxes, etc. Lost & Found overflows with children's belongings because we have no idea who the owners may be. By the way, Lost & Found items are placed in a blue trunk in the gym by the bathrooms.
19. All written excuses for tardies and absences are to be sent to me...not the office.
20. Remember, I am desperately in need of a room mother.
Thank you, Mr. Melvin 215-0590
