13. Farm Notes Student planners should be checked nightly by parent. Red folders for homework and other important papers should be checked nightly, too.
No prepayments until August 30th. Students must bring money per day until that point – will be giving change back to kids if they bring more than the cost of one meal.
Safety – talk about not parking at church and dismissing as a walker (when really a car rider), walk with a buddy, etc.
Discuss homework expectations briefly – read nightly (will be turning in log of “RAH” (read at home) time for a grade.) and a short language practice that will be discussed in class. Writing/journaling 3-5 times per week is encouraged as well to prepare them for writing expectations – even informal diaries or journals are good.
