Week Three

Great week coming. Open House is Tuesday. Go to the Parent Portal and print (or copy) your student's schedule. This is a great opportunity to make sure you are signed into Parent Portal and know how to the various tools. If you have problems, go to web site and follow instructions.



Debate Practice is Tuesdays and Thursday at 3:15. A Debate parent meeting is also Tuesday in room E103 from 6 to 7 pm. If your student is involved in Debate or wants to be involved in Debate please attend the meeting.



More adjustments are now completed. There will be a few adjustments this week but not many students will be affected. Yes, classes are 35 and over. That is not that way we would like it to be but that is what happens with budget constraints and formula decisions. But that is also why we talk about responsibility and respect. The class size works if we work together. Please remember teachers have a case load of over 175 students per day.

We want you involved in your child's education. On the other hand we want your child to begin the growing up process and accepting responsibility for his/her actions (or inactions). You cannot live your child's life for very long. If your child is absent, if your child chooses to be late with assignments. if your child does not plan ahead, think about your own actions. What are you teaching your child. Maybe some of these are not your child's teacher's fault or responsibility.

Let's have another great week!
