Dragon Community,
Welcome to the month of March! As we enter the second half of the semester, I want to take a moment to stress the importance of this time for your child's academic progress. As we begin reviewing for the upcoming state assessments, attendance becomes even more critical. Consistent presence in the classroom is essential for students to fully engage with the review material and have the best opportunity to succeed.
In addition to regular classroom instruction, we are offering after-school state testing tutoring to support students who may need extra help in preparing for the assessments. This tutoring session is designed to give students the chance to review key concepts, ask questions, and receive personalized assistance. I strongly encourage your child to take advantage of this opportunity, as it can make a significant difference in their preparation and confidence moving forward.
As always, we ask that you continue prioritizing academics at home. Please take the time to monitor your child's progress, especially their grades and unit test scores. Regularly checking their grades on our school platform can help identify areas where they might need additional support. By staying engaged, you can work alongside us to ensure that your child is performing to the best of their ability.
We are committed to helping every student succeed and ensuring they feel fully prepared for the state assessments. Your support plays a crucial role in this effort, and we are grateful for your partnership.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students achieve their fullest potential.
