 * __ “S.T.A.R” Folder __ **


 * “Students Taking Academic Responsibility” **

Dear Responsible 5th Grade Student,

Welcome to 5th grade. This is big year for you as you slowly transition and prepare for middle school next year. This year we will focus on keeping and maintaining organization. You will be given a plastic folder that you will be responsible for keeping organized and bringing to and from school everyday. This folder will be labeled with ** everything **you need to be successful in 5th grade. I will be checking to make sure that you have your folder with you daily and that you are keeping it organized. If you forget your folder at school or home you will have to change your card and in return will cost you a PAW for the day. Please read the rules and sign below stating that you are ready to take on this responsibility.


 * __Directions for Success__ **

1. I will bring my folder to and from school everyday.

2. I will keep my folder clean.

3. I will show my folder to my parents every day.

4. I will only put papers that Mrs. Cook tells me to in my folder.

5. I will use my folder for school only.

6. I will empty my “completed work” pocket daily.

I promise to be Responsible and Organized this year with the help of my “S.T.A.R” Folder. I understand that if I do not follow all of the rules that come with this folder I will have to flip my card and I will not earn my PAW for the day.
