Note+to+Parents

You are an important part of your child's success in school. Here are a few ways you can help:
 * Note to Parents **
 * Please check Skyward regularly.
 * Talk to your child about what we’re doing in class.
 * Encourage him or her to read, read, read -- books, magazines, newspapers, cereal boxes!
 * Ask to see your child's homework and read his or her essays.
 * Direct your student to other pages on this website which provide help with classwork and homework.
 * Check occasionally with your student to make sure he or she is adequately supplied with pencils. A magnetic pencil holder for his or her locker is a great help.
 * Encourage as much independence as possible. It is important that seventh graders begin to take personal responsibility for their learning.
