Students- are you happy with your progress in class (my class or anyone else)? Are your parents bragging about your report cards, or just putting it in a drawer? Parents, do you want your children to enjoy the satifaction that comes with real understanding of learning?
There ARE choices you can make to change things for the better! first, there's the obvious: come to school each day, do all the required work, pay attention. Sometimes, however, you might need extra time or extra help. as a student, do you ASK the teacher if they could help you at lunch, after school, nor whatever? Do you ev er do homework with a friend who is really good at the thing you struggle with? Parents, are you hearing teacher's voices all the time, telling you about the struggle your child is having?
OK, let's be serious. ..there IS something we can do! POWER HOUR!! An "extended day" may offer the extra time your child needs. Small groups, focused instruction. If your child scored BASIC on either Reading or Math, they SHOULD be in Power Hour. If they scored "below basic', they MUST attend, or they will fall further behind.
I am strongly encouraging some of my developing-level students to sign up. Parents, if your child is not being successful, please contact the school for the form, if your child has not brought one home already. Few things are as joyful and less stressful as a child who is successful in school!
