Our Library will Recycle Your Reusable Bags

Our library is accepting your donations of your extra reusable shopping bags (cloth-type). Our students are asked to take off their shoes/slippers when they enter the library (keeps our carpet clean!). They place their footwear in bags and carry it with them to their seat for safe-keeping. Your bags will be put to daily use by our students! You can drop them off at the office. Thanks!

1st Quarter Report Card Time


First quarter report cards will be mailed home during the Fall Intersession (Oct. 1-5). For some students and families, it will be a time for smiles and congratulations.  For others, it may be a time of disappointment and frustration.  How parents react to a report card is very important to your child.

Tips for Parents:

      SIT DOWN with your child and look over the report card.
      PRAISE YOUR CHILD. Find at least one good thing, e.g. a good grade, good attendance.
      BE CALM - Let your child tell you about his/her grades – the good and the bad.
      ASK your child how you can help him/her do better in school.
      ASK your child what he/she can do to earn better grades.
      If improvement is needed, MAKE A PLAN with your child. Poor grades are often due to frequent absences, missing assignments, and/or poor quality of work turned in. Address these areas. Come up with some agreements on afterschool tutorial, study time at home, and scheduling of non-school activities.
      Clearly convey to your child your EXPECTATIONS for the 2nd quarter and the SUPPORT you will provide.


 

If you need assistance with developing a plan for 2nd Quarter, please call your child’s counselor:
