This year all of our home/school communication will take
place in the MUSTANG Notebooks. This is a tool to help teach students some organizational skills and it keeps us adults
organized too. In it you will find everything you need to stay current on what your son or daughter is doing at school.
Your child's M.U.S.T.A.N.G Notebook (Managing Useful Study Tools (to) Accomplish Necessary Goals) contains the sections
listed below. Please look at all of the sections on a regular basis.
1. Inside Front Pocket- Important Notes and Send Back to School - This pocket
will contain notes from me, our principal, other school personnel or organizations. Some notes need to be returned the
next day and should be returned to this pocket.
2.
1st Clear Plastic Sleeve- Introductory letter to M.U.S.T.A.N.G Notebook,
MUSTANG Guidelines
3. Parent Communication
Section: Here you will find a section of notepaper for you and I to correspond. Check here for any personal
notes from me. Please write any notes you need to send to school here also. This eliminates that hunt for paper when you need
to write a note about Johnny needing to leave early to go to the dentist. It also solves the problem of lost notes.
I do ask that you leave all correspondence in the notebook. If the section becomes full, I will remove all notes and put them
in your child's file.
4. 2nd
Clear Plastic Sleeve - Respect and Protect Brochure and classroom constitution.
5. 3rd Clear Plastic Sleeve - Monthly events and menu
6. 4th Clear Plastic Sleeve - Your child's
trimester reading goals
7. Folder - Homework
and Keep at Home the right pocket of this folder will contain homework to be done and turned in the next day. Please
help your child remember to put homework back in this folder when finished or when he or she is not working on it. This
pocket may also contain papers with information to study. The left pocket of this folder will contain papers to keep
at home.
8. Student Planner - Your
child will write his/her assignments in the agenda each day.
