PROGRESS REPORTS TODAY! November 14, 2014

If your child's report is not satisfactory, consider the following items:

*Is your child frequently tardy?

*Does your child complete homework?

*Do you and your child prepare for tests?

*Does your child know school is important to you, too?

*Does your child bring the necessary supplies to class?

*Do you visit the school for an occasional lunch date or to speak to the teacher?

*Is your child frequently absent from school, but could have probably attended? 

The problem may not be his/her ability to learn, but obstacles that can be easily removed.
