Parents,
It has often been said that it takes the teamwork of the parents, the school and the student, for the most successful educational experience. That being said, I want to invite you to a couple of opportunities to help your students out and learn more about their education.
This Tuesday March 6th at 6:30 we will host our first ever parent registration information night. We will discuss several topics, among them will be: Graduation Requirements, Registration information for 2012 -2013, The Regents Admission Index and what that means for your student, college information, ACT information and chance for questions. Most of this information will beneficial to current 8th-11th graders. Senior parents are welcome to attend as well but the main conversation will lean towards next year and the future for our under class men.
Monday March 12th and Tuesday March 13th we will have parent teacher conferences from 4:00 - 7:45 pm. These conferences are a great chance to sit down with teachers and see what is going on in your child's classes. Bring your child along if you want. You do not have come and see all of their teachers, but if there is a class where your student is receiving a D or an F, I would hope you would have some concerns and take advantage of this opportunity. These dates and times are the ones we set up specifically for conferences. Please know that with e mail, phone calls and even a visit from the parent our teachers are always available to you. If you want to come in and visit a class room at any time you are always welcome. If you would like to come in and meet with a teacher or group of teachers we will do our best to set that up.
In my mind the key factor in educational success is effort. If the student is giving their best efforts, the teachers are giving their best efforts and you as parents are giving your best efforts, the likelihood of success increases exponentially! If we really want our students to have success we are going to have to work together. Please take advantage of these two opportunities to be an active participant in your child's education!
Tuesday March 6th - 6:30 -7:30 - Parent Registration Information night - Most of this information was presented to students already, but you can bring them along if you would like.
