6. Student Agendas
Agendas have arrived and have been
delivered to ALL scholars!
Agendas help to keep scholars organized and
accountable!
Agendas should be checked daily so that parents are
informed about academic expectations: homework,
projects, school events, etc.
Donation Expectation: Parent’s will share $5 to
offset the cost of student agendas.
Make all checks payable to: Green Dot Public
Schools; write Animo Westside in the memo section.
Editor's Notes
Please share the importance of student agendas for organization and communication of important information with parents. Regarding the last bullet, please let them know that they can pay the $5 tonight to you. Simply check off the name of the student and place the money in the large envelope supplied. Turn that into the main office before leaving campus. If parents are not prepared to pay tonight, their accounts will be billed and they can pay at a later time.
