WELCOME TO MRS. DILLON'S SIXTH GRADE LANGUAGE ARTS CLASS!
REMINDER: Every Wednesday all sixth grade students should bring home a completed self-evaluation form on green paper. This evaluation should be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to school every Thursday. If teachers decide NOT to send home a self-evaluation, we will send home an explanation letter instead. Every Wednesday students should bring home a self-evaluation or an explantion letter from the teachers.
The 6th grade Language Arts 1" binder should contain 4 dividers and loose leaf notebook paper. The dividers should be labeled: Warm-Ups, Notes, Quizzes/Tests, and Classwork/Homework.

· If you do not have a homework assignment on the day it is due, you may turn it in THE NEXT DAY ONLY for half credit.
· It is the student’s responsibility to obtain all make-up work immediately after being absent. For each day you have been absent, you have one day to complete your make-up work.
· You should study and seek help ahead of time before a test. I DO NOT ROUTINELY ALLOW TEST RETAKES.
