Dear Parents,
I continue to meet with students on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:45-4:30
PM for special tutoring sessions, especially for French- and Spanish-speaking students who
may need assistance with English vocabulary, reading, and writing assignments. All
students are welcome! No additional or special fee is assessed for this tutoring help.
Parents are always welcome to schedule a conference to discuss a student’s progress. I
would always want, however, for the student to be with us when we meet. Please contact me
through the office and fill out the Parent Conference Request Form. Thank you.
Students will continue to need access to a functioning printer. Students will not have access
to the computer lab during regular class time, so they may need to make special
arrangements to use a school computer or printer.
