Weekly Planner Expectations
This year in 5th grade we are using planners every day to help students learn to track assignments and start preparing for middle school. Every student will be asked to write in their planners for each subject every day.
If you ordered your supplies through EPI, the planner was included.If your student doesn't have a planner yet, please make sure they have one by Monday, August 17. Here is a link to one similar to the one in the student supply kit ordered by the district, but any similar planner is acceptable.
