I will also continue to mark STAR folders for Missing Assignments. Three STAR folder marks in one week = a lunch detention. The purpose for the lunch detention is to show the students that they need to be held accountable for their work/behavior. I send home the reflection sheet that they are required to fill out. Please go over this with your child so that we can work together to help make your child feel successful and accomplished. J
