Achieving student progress requires flexibility to ensure a class’s unique needs are met. For this reason, please be aware
these assignments are subject to change. Your student will always be notified of such changes in class.
Dear Parents,
I continue to meet with students on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 3:20-4:15 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.
