PARENTS AND STUDENTS! School starts August 14th! Please remember that all school supplies are very important for a variety of skills and activities that are a part of our daily work. DO NOT BRING ROLLING OR LARGE BACKPACKS. They do not fit in our tiny lockers and I will send them back home if students bring them. A small tote bag or mini-backpack is ideal for our space. All supplies are collected the first week of school and used as community supplies. You do not need to put your name on anything expect your bag/backpack. I don't allow extra "things" that students think they need like gel pens, fancy notebooks, trapper keepers, etc. All of these items will be sent home so please don't waste your money on them. STUDENTS! Our class works hard being productive and successful both in the classroom and in the computer lab. All students will be expected to make 80 or above in every session of math and reading in the lab everyday. It takes everyone, working together as a team, to stay the best. Thanks in advance for your hard work. PARENTS! Every minute of school is important. Being to school on time, everyday, is crucial to a student's success. Taking students on trips during school time or letting them stay home for any reason other than extreme illness will only hold them back and makes catching up hard on the student, the teacher, and the parent as well. Please be considerate of your student's learning needs and plan on having them at school, on time, every day beginning on the first day! Please try hard to schedule all appointments for doctor, dentist, counseling, etc. after school so as not to disturb your child's learning or put them in a position to miss vital instruction. We are busy advancing our skills and you will be amazed at the progress your student can make if we all work together and are ALWAYS IN SCHOOL! Thanks for your support.
