  Keplar's 3 Bees to Good Behavior

Be Respectful          Be Responsible          Be Here

 At the beginning of every week, your child will be bringing home a Homework sheet which has their assignments for the week.  This needs to be signed after they finish their nightly homework and returned to school in their Homework Folder daily.  Any work needs to be returned in the folder also. 

Beginning the 3rd or 4th week of school: Practice Spelling Tests will be on Thursdays and the actual Spelling Test will be on Friday.
