STUDY SKILLS
ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS
Student organization and responsibility are key ingredients of good study habits and study skills and ultimately school productivity. Therefore, in grades K - 8 students will be required to organize their work and be responsible for their assignments. They will be required at regular intervals to bring information home, share information with parents and return information to school. Consequences for failure to complete these organization and responsibility tasks will be established and implemented. The purpose of these requirements is to teach responsibility and organization and improve school/parent communications.
