Our teachers and staff strive to make that transition as seamless as possible and I hope that all of our freshmen students and their parents are feeling more comfortable in your new school. Report cards detailing student academic progress during the first six weeks should be arriving at your home soon. These reports are an important tool in our efforts to keep parents and students informed about student academic progress. I encourage you to look it over carefully and to contact your teachers, counselor, principal or my office if you have any questions or concerns. It is also important to remember that regular attendance is directly related to student success.
Students perform better, both academically and socially, when they are at school every day.
If you and your student make the commitment that he or she will be at school, on time and ready to learn every day, you should see the fruits of your efforts reflected in your progress reports. It takes all of us students, parents, teachers and staff working together to ensure student success. We must continue to strengthen our partnerships and maintain our shared commitment to make this school year a positive and constructive one for all students. Remember, your call to your counselor or principal can help increase the success of your student. In the aftermath of the tragic events in New York, Washington D.C. and around the nation this morning, we understand that parents and students have questions about school classes and activities.
