As we approach the end of quarter 3, I wanted to reflect on how far we have come but also how much more we need to do... First off - for those who are on top of the homework - THANK YOU - it is paying off in class and things are coming with ease now. For those who are lacking in the homework department... it's time to start working hard. Homework is for students to practice - either previously learned skills or skills that we are currently learning. I ask for a very minimal amount each week and as I explained to all kids to today in class, it is a non-negotiable. They need to be held responsible and accountable for their work and without the homework component, I do not know where they are struggling independently. As all middle schools in the country, homework is required. Please ensure that your child is doing all of their homework - it is not something I allow to be made up as they have 1 week to do it. Once they get a 0 - it stays a 0. That impacts their grade.
Mark your calendars -
Our quarter ends on March 11.
Our PARCC assessment days are March 17, 18, 21 for Math. I need your child to be WELL RESTED, ON TIME, and READY.
Spring Break is from April 2-April 11. Students return on April 12.
One last thing.. my name has officially been restored to Susan J York. My email has been updated accordingly. I'm not sure if the old will forward or not.. so to be safe, please use [email protected]
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I love being a part of your child's education.. and together, we will make a difference!
Susan
