End of the Quarter
We have eight days left of the second quarter. It is important that students finish the quarter strong so they can get the grades that they want. Please be checking in with your student about how school is going. The binder is a great way to guide the conversation as you can flip through their materials (maybe help them reorganize and check the condition of the binder as well). If your student is struggling in a class or needs extra help, please reach out to the teachers.
As we get closer to the halfway mark of the school year, I would like to take this opportunity to send a couple of reminders when it comes to school supplies and materials that are essential for learning.
Please take some time to review the School Supply List that was available to all families at the beginning of the school year. Several students have started to run out of basic necessary supplies (loose-leaf paper, pencils, pens, etc). These items may need to be replenished as the year progresses. It is also important that students always have working headphones and a scientific calculator. Please check with your student to make sure they still have everything they need to be successful in every class.
We are in need of your help again regarding Chromebooks. Chromebooks need to be charged every evening at home as they are used daily in all classes and students must have their devices ready for learning each day. We are struggling with students not having a charged Chromebook and wanting to check one out from the Chrome Depot. Unfortunately, the need has become so great that the Chrome Depot is starting to run out of extras to loan out, which leaves students without this necessary item throughout the day. A gentle reminder each evening would be greatly appreciated.
