Welcome to the 2015-16 school year! We are very excited to be your child’s teachers and we are looking forward to helping your child learn new academic and social skills. Students have already demonstrated sitting like model students, volunteering, and staying on task as well as ignoring distractions. We see progress in students’ vocabulary and how they hold themselves in class. They are standing and projecting their voices. Also, thank you parents for attending Back to School night; we had a good turnout and won the spirit point competition. Please continue giving your child support, together we can make a difference in your child’s success by making hope happen.

Counseling Corner
Teach your child to set goals for themselves. Goals should be SMART
S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Relevant, Rigorous, Realistic, and Results Focused
T = Timely and Trackable
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Relevant, Rigorous, Realistic, and Results Focused
T = Timely and Trackable
A goal has to be realistic with a stretch, requiring effort and focus to achieve it. That's why goals need timeframes and measurable action steps along the way so that we can keep track of progress and make adjustments as necessary.
For example: In the next marking period, I will get at least a C on all my math tests, and at least a B on most of my quizzes and homework assignments.
