Dear Parents,
I’m so excited to begin a new school year. Thank you for
the partnership and support in the education of your son/daughter. As students move through junior high, it’s gratifying
to see how they mature and become ready for high school.
Just some reminders:
I’ve had great success
communicating with parents via email. If you would like to change your address or add another parent’s, please
let me know. I can be reached at mrsthomas@stspeterandpaulschool.com or mrsthomas44@yahoo.com. Both will be
active for your convenience. If email is not the best mode of communication for you, please let me know.
Each
student needs a language arts binder. Everything for language arts will be kept in this binder. The students will
be graded on their organizational skills. The binder needs to be divided into the following sections: English, Reading,
Spelling, Oral Language, Vocabulary, and AR.
Please encourage your son/daughter to tract assignments in
his/her agenda. That makes it his/her responsibility to complete tasks. Major project will be emailed to you.
The agenda is especially important this year since behaviors will be noted daily there. Three or more behavior notes
result in a behavior notice that will be sent home for a parent’s signature.
Expanded Accelerated
Reader. Many books are available for an internet approach to testing. You will be able to check your son/daughter’s
testing record on line. Students will participate in this program with more required independent reading. The GOAL
is 60 points for the year.
Progress Book for grades, progress reports, and our school website will
enable parents to have access to their son/daughter’s grades and school information online.
Please use this important tracking tool for your son/daughter. Encourage THEM use this vital tool to stay on tract.
