The school year is passing by quickly. We are starting a tutoring program in the school. It's called the Big Red S.T.A.R. (Student Tutoring and Resource) Program. We are hopeful that the STAR program will benefit those students in need of intervention. Also coming, November 4th is our Open House from 5pm - 8pm. I want to remind families that these conferences are a powerful tool in better understanding the needs and strengths of your daughter/son. The more parents choose to participate in these discussions, the more knowledge you will gain. Please feel free to bring a list On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.

Your child's teacher wants you to become more informed about their education and what you can do at home to help continue their academic success. In order to continue our great start here at school, it is important for our students to be constantly motivated and to work hard throughout the school year. Please check with your child daily on homework assignments and be sure to follow up on Progress Book to verify assignment completion. A student prepared for class each day has an excellent chance for high achievement in the classroom.
