- Did I work as hard as I could?
- Did I earn the grade I'm capable of making?
- Was I able to participate in both my schoolwork and my extra curricular activities?
- What changes should I make to be the most successful I can be?
We ask that students do this self reflection, because we will be doing the same as a faculty. We ask ourselves:
- Did we work as hard as we could?
- Did we give students the opportunity to earn the grade they are capable of making?
- Did we challenge students, but also remember the challenges they have outside of school and help create a healthy balance for them?
- What changes should we make for students to be as successful as possible?
We know that our students are capable of working hard and overcoming obstacles. We also know that we want to provide an environment for students to feel free to come to any of us with their questions or concerns. If you are not concerned with your child's progress or feel you need additional help, please don't hesitate to reach out to any teacher or administrator and we will work together at giving all students the opportunity for success.
