Children benefit greatly when parents and
guardians take an active role in their child’s
education. Parents who help their children
succeed academically gain a sense of pride in
their children as well as themselves. Being an
involved parent demonstrates to your child that
you sincerely value their education. I am
excited to have this opportunity to join the
Middle School Staff and the Garfield Heights
City Schools. You can reach me at 216-475-8105
ext.53002.

PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions
Support) Every day, students exhibiting positive
behavior have a chance to win a prize from the
assistant principals. Teachers dole out 10 tickets
per day to students who are being safe,
responsible, and respectful. In addition, each
team recognizes a student of the week. The
student of the week receives a certificate, gets
their picture taken, and it gets posted on the
Garfield Heights City Schools website.
