Special-education teachers Lori Pacheco and Patsy Kingston and their assistants are in one of the classrooms at all times helping those who need extra attention. They all come in the room, get their assignments and get to work on that subject. I have had positive feedback from the kids on this. For the rest of the day, students have accelerated reading, library time, band, spelling, computers and homework. Some students go to the resource room for extra help on assignments.
All students have a planner that they take home with their homework assignment.
The home-room teachers are responsible for report cards and coordinating work loads. We have good teachers that are into doing this, and it gives the students a taste of what high school will be like and teaches them responsibility. Anyone interested in learning more about the new program may call Carrion at 847-2231.
