Working Syllabus
To Parents and Students:
Welcome to another school year! I am delighted that your child will be in my
class this year. Please do not hesitate to call me at school or email me if
I can be of any assistance at any time.
Since our success at school depends in part on learning to make responsible
choices, I have developed a classroom discipline plan which guides every
student to make good decisions about his or her behavior. Classroom rules,
as well as school rules, can be found in the Student Handbook. Your child
deserves the most positive educational experience possible for his or her
growth, and I know that together we can make a difference.
