I believe that school should be a place where children can experience success in a number of ways, where their efforts are recognized, and where they can learn in a safe, orderly environment.

A meaningful learning experience is more than just what happens at school. The staff and I believe that a successful education for your child requires a high level of cooperation and communication between home and classroom. We ask that you actively join us in meeting the challenge ahead. You can help by:

• attending parent teacher conferences
• monitoring your child's homework and attendance
• providing a quiet place for your child to study
• encouraging your child to read
• talking with your child about what he or she is learning at school

Our rules have been established to ensure learning, health, and safety for each child. We expect students to follow the school rules.

The staff and I looking forward to working with you and your child during this school year. Let's work together to make this a successful and rewarding year.
