 Parents can help students by checking the online communication book for internet links, key vocabulary words and worksheets.  If your child’s score is lower than expected it is most likely due to missing work/assignments. We have the homeroom TAs supporting in Science to help students be responsible for handing in their work.

 To help students understand that their in class work has value and is important the daily notes will NOT be uploaded to the online communication book.  If your child is absent for some reason you can contact the TA or myself to help your child get notes or worksheets.

 Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any concerns or questions  Contact me by  OR you can write a note in the communication book Thank You!!!
