COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS: Organization One of our major goals is to help your child develop good organizational skills. For that reason, we try to be clear, specific, and consistent with our expectations. Students will be told when folders or student purchased organizers or agendas should be cleaned out, so please do not remove papers without first checking with the teacher. Many papers in the folders can be “works in progress.” Therefore, it is very important that they not be removed. In general, folders may be emptied as designated below but not without prior authorization from your child’s teacher.  Math – after completion of the unit  Science/Social Studies – after completion of the unit  Language/ELA - after completion of the unit
