Goal Setting Setting a goal is very important for your child to do. It reminds them of what they have to work on. Everyone has goals, including us teachers. Your child will be setting goals over the course of the year. It is important to help your child work on these goals at home as well. Also, we would like you as the parent to talk to your child about their goals. Make it a daily discussion!

Some examples of goals for September your child might have.. “I would like to score 80% and above on all math tests and quizzes.” “I want to be able to complete all my homework on a daily basis.” “I would like to improve my behavior overall.” “I want to work in a timely fashion which would allow me to complete my work for Math.”

We look forward to this new academic year. Thank you! We look forward to this new academic year. Let’s work together to help your child succeed. Thank you all for coming!
