The Presidential Report

The Presidential Report was assigned to students in October, and they have had computer time and homework time put aside to help them finish it.  Now, the time to turn them in has come.  The reports are due DECEMBER 19th, FRIDAY.  They will be performing their oral reports on their presidents after the break in January.

(For a good representation of what the report should look like, please take a look at Eva's nearly completed report on Richard M. Nixon.)

Students understand that the penalty for not turning in a full report is exclusion from the 5th Grade Picnic at the end of the year.  It is important for students to understand that they must organize their academics to benefit their educational career.  To be responsible for turning in weekly homework or completing a report or assignment is key to their future success as middle school students, a time that is arriving sooner than later.

As parents, you should help keep your children on track when it comes to assignments.  A teacher's responsibility does not end when the bell rings at the end of the day, and your responsibility as parents continues even after you drop your children off at school.  Please help your teachers assist your children by following through at home, encouraging and monitoring their work, and keeping them aware and appreciative of the act of learning and education.

Thanks to all you parents who have shown wonderful dedication to their child's education at Sutro.
