Missing assignments

We are nearing the end of the marking period and many students are missing several assignments (homework, Test corrections, projects). Additional they are missing school supplies. Students need a durable folder that has the 3 ring prongs for their work. Currently we are using folders but their math sheets are falling out. Please provide your child with the needed materials. 

Thank you.
