Insider Tip for Parents:

Parents who are involved with their children and keep up on what they are doing in class will help me out as a teacher as well! Checking their grades constantly isn’t always a fair assessment, but having that conversation with your children about what they are doing in school and asking what the positives are for the day is very important!

Ask the Principal
