Talking Points
Sylvan teachers use TalkingPoints to communicate with you about every day behaviors and classroom assignments. This comes to you in the form of a text. However, you cannot respond to the teachers without having the app on your phone. Please take the time to download this FREE app so that you can communicate quickly and easily with each of your student's teachers. Working together as a team brings about peace of mind, positive communication, and ultimately good grades.

Academic Resource Center
Sylvan is proud to offer our Academic Resource Center (ARC) to assist students everyday after school. Some of the services available are: retaking tests, completing homework, use of Chromebooks, readily available project supplies, tutoring, and more. The ARC is open five days a week and it is FREE. Please let your student know they have a place for more assistance if needed with four adults waiting to help.

Math Block-Round Two
What is Math Block?
You may have heard from your student that we had our first Math Block rotation on Friday. Math Block is an embedded support time that we use to provide targeted support in Math for our students. Math Block occurs everyday except for Thursday and each cycle is 5 weeks long. The Math Block is scheduled after 3rd period, but the class itself rotates, so that students will have an opportunity to be with each of their scheduled teachers for a Math Block rotation. We also have some students being pulled into other Math Blocks where the teacher is targeting a specific math skill. The rotation seems confusing at first, but the students get the hang of it quickly and we have staff members out during passing period, helping to remind them where they go as well as announcements over the intercom and on our school news. This next Math Block class is your child’s 2nd period teacher. This second Math Block will run until November 1st.
The schedule is as follows:
1st period
2nd period
3rd period
Math Block (with 2nd period teacher)
1st lunch/4th period
4th period/2nd lunch
5th period
6th period
