Expectations and Details on Syllabus

Extra Help—I am available before school, at lunch and afterschool if you make arrangements. I am also easily reached via if you have a question. My address is Please put your last name and hour in the subject line!! Do not leave class confused! I am happy to help you!

Conferences are not needed for all students. Time is limited. If there is a concern or need for a plan of action, please bring your child to conferences with you. This makes the time more effective when we can sit down together and discuss issues. If you are informed about how your child is doing in my class and have no questions/concerns, then a conference isn’t necessary. Every 5 weeks I send a interim or grade report. Twice a week you may receive a MYRCS update. In between, the MYRCS.com site has my current grades and notes.

*Allow your child to take responsibility for their work and learning. *Encourage them to approach me if they have questions or concerns. *Refrain from helping TOO MUCH – If you are looking for a great parenting book try the Love and Logic series by Jim Fay and Foster Cline. I wish I had read it 10 years earlier !**
