Fall 2017

Dear Students and Parents,

 I am extremely proud of your students so far.  Your students have jumped into the school year with a great attitude and spirit about the school year ahead.

Students are learning the process of note-taking, organization, close-reading and writing to the texts.  It is challenging and I encourage both students and parents to have our students to stay the course.  When they don't understand, I am here to help, as are your students' peers.  We are focused on 'what will make our students become career and college ready?":  succeeding on the ACT test, writing skills that will help in their professional and college careers, understanding complex text, and the producing and presenting their work intelligently and articulately.

Parents, please encourage your students to attend school, focus on their work, while in class, work hard and stay motivated to excel.

Thank you for your support and efforts.  This is the beginning of your future, students -- embrace it!!
