Parents please check your child's agenda for "Pink Stamps":  Usually assignments in language arts are started in class to provide students a chance to ask questions and have clarification.  Many times students are given the opportunity to complete the assignment for homework.  If the work is not completed and shown in class the next day, they will receive an "INCOMPLETE HOMEWORK & PARENT SIGNATURE"  Pink Stamp in their agenda.  Please sign these, so I will know you received the message.
