STAR Binders

 

 

 

 

What is a S.T.A.R. Binder?

 

 

A STAR Binder is a special notebook that your child will carry to and from school everyday this year.

 STAR is an acronym for Students Taking Academic Responsibility.

   The STAR Binder will help your child stay organized and keep you in touch with our classroom.

 

S.T.A.R. DO’s:

  Take care of your STAR Binder; it will be used all year!

Take your STAR Binder home every day and bring it back each morning.

   Clean out the "Leave at Home" pocket every evening.

 

S.T.A.R. Dont's:

  Don't make any marks or drawings in or on your STAR Binder.

  Don't leave your STAR Binder at home, in the car or bus, or at extended day.

  Don't let anyone borrow your STAR Binder or tear pages out.

  Don't put any papers in your STAR Binder that do not belong.

 

What's in a S.T.A.R.?

Here is an overview of what is inside our STAR:

 

Front Pocket: Return to school

This pocket holds all important papers.  The "return to school" side contains homework, unfinished class work, or school documents that require parent signatures.

 

Clear Sleeve: DPS/Reading Log

In the front of the clear sleeve is your child's Daily Performance Sheet.  This sheet keeps track of your child's behavior. Please check this sheet every day for communication from school to home.

In the back of the clear sleeve is your child's Reading Log. This needs to be filled out every day and get signed by a parent.  Your child's daily homework is to read for 30 minutes every night unless I tell them otherwise.

 

Back Pocket: Leave at Home

In the back pocket of the binder you will find important school and/or PTA papers.  Please remove these papers and read all these papers as they will keep you up to date on special events/programs going on at Jensen Beach Elementary.
