However, we need all parents to be involved in their child’s education each day. When students know their parents are involved and know what’s going on in their classes, they tend to do better. Please ensure your child is at school each day and on time. Check his/her agenda and make sure they have completed all home learning assignments and have studied for any upcoming assessments. Regularly check our website for any announcements and/or information. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about your child’s academic progress.
