Thank you for supporting your child
in their academics! We have set
individual goals that each child works
towards to feel a level of success,
based on their needs. I have set high
expectations for each child, and will
be working in small groups and
individually to help struggling
students or enrich students who
need to be challenged.
Your child will have homework daily,
which can be found in their
homework folder, and checked in
their agendas that are updated daily
with their learning.
Please remember to sign their agenda
nightly after checking that their
homework is complete!
