Red Folder and Agenda Book

 Thank you for checking your child’s agenda book and red homework folder each night.  Included in your child’s agenda book will be there daily behavior check-in.  At the end of the day, your child decides what kind of day they have had: a great day, an okay day, or tomorrow will be better.  I will initial the agenda book and write a note if I disagree with the evaluation your child has written.
