Weekly Reminders - 9/8/14

Parents/Guardians/students:

Welcome to the new school year 2014-2015.  I am blessed and honored to have the opportunity to be part of your child's educational endeavors.   I look forward to building a relationship where we can all work together to foster and promote a successful and productive academic year for your child.  Here are some key elements to make it a smooth and constructed school year:

All homework must be completed neatly, following directions given in class, in pen unless told otherwise, and hand in when DUE! 

Students must be in proper uniform unless they are told to dress up or dress down!

Students must be prepared for all classes! 

Please read the monthly calendar, school blog, and the SIS for important updates on your child.  You will need a password for the SIS system to see your child's subject and behavioral grades.  Each of your child's teacher will have their lesson plans, events, homework, and other important details posted on the blog every week.

Please make sure your child comes to school on time.  When your child is late, classes are interrupted.  Tardiness will also prevent your child from getting honors.  If your child is absent, a note is required, if sick a doctor's note must be brought in.


If you need to meet with me, please make an appointment with the office. It is important that you meet with all 4 of your child's teachers frequently. Do not wait for report card, then it is too late for that quarter.  All meetings with parents are recorded and documented.
