Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to a brand new school year! The following is information to assist in the success of your child’s learning for the 2015-2016 school year. It is our shared responsibility as educators and parents to help each child achieve success through the development of self-esteem, social skills, self management and academic skills. The following expectations have been set forth in order to assist students in reaching their greatest potential. Specifically, the guidelines that have been created are designed to help students with their organizational skills and academic goals, as well as to build upon their ability to be independent learners. Parents/Guardians are asked to please take a moment to read over these expectations and review them with your child.
