Dear Parents,

We cordially invite you to attend one of our most important meetings for this school year. You will be able to go in the classrooms and observe teachers and students in action. New methods and tools such as Promethean Boards, School Improvement Plan reading, math, and writing strategies, interventions, etc. will be demonstrated throughout the visit in Grades K-5.  During your visit, you will have the opportunity to see our specialists working with small groups of students to help them improve their reading and writing levels.

This opportunity is one of the few chances when parents are able to observe firsthand what takes place in our classrooms. Do not miss this important opportunity. Come and join us on Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 9:00 in the cafeteria. We are looking forward to seeing you.

Thank you,
Mrs. Faraj
