Weekly Reminders- 9/9/13

Welcome to 2013-2014 School Year

Dear Parents/Guardians:


I am your child’s 6th grade teacher, and I am delighted to have your child in my class this year. I am looking forward to a very successful year and I know you are too. I have high expectations for your child and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations. It will be a challenging year with the implementation of the new Core curriculum.

You can help. I will be expecting all work assigned in class to be completed. Of course, all children do not work at the same pace. Some children will get their work done in class and some will not. If your child does not complete an assignment in class, he or she will be required to complete it at home. The way you can help is to ask your child every school day if schoolwork needs to be done, and if so, make sure your child completes the assignment. Homework assignments must be completed at home and checked by a parent/guardian.

In addition, I will be assigning projects in various subjects throughout the school year. Some projects are to be completed at home. Your help and support will not only make your child more successful in school this year but will instill good study habits that will last a lifetime.

Finally, I want you to know that one of my most important goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you. The school office has the time and date for meetings. It’s important that you meet with your child’s teachers to keep updated on their progress.

Mrs. Ramsey
