Teacher Expectations Ms. Ra or

Ms.Ra’s Mission Statement I believe it is my responsibility to develop independent students with solid social, academic, and life skills. Students will be familiar with their accommodations and be comfortable advocating for themselves in their GE classes. I believe all students can learn with proper supports from everyone that has a vesting interest in seeing the student flourish as a scholar. My responsibility is to support our students with special needs, by collaborating with teachers, parents, and administrators, and thus empower our students to advocate for themselves, and to become independent learners.
