They will also share with you times of availability and how to best contact them. I will likewise be sharing the same information.
See you Wednesday

Don’t steal from your children
We try to give everything to our children so they can be happy, but what we do is steal their self esteem. We teach them that happiness is “stuff”. We need to work on them earning things. This does not mean just money, it could also be privileges.
After the 4th card marking, students received reading and/or mathematics contracts { performing 2 or more grade level below on NWEA }, we need these forms returned.
The wait will soon be over, shortly after we return from break letters will be in the mail.
