As we approach the end of the first grading period (October 16), we
continue to encourage our students to perform at their highest potential.
Our vision is to provide learning opportunities for students so they can
realistically and effectively respond to future challenges and demands of
life, facilitating learing opportunities on a dual technology platform with
relevant skills.  The middle schooler might not understand the impact of
our vision and mission, therefore we solicit the help of our parents,
community and business partners.  The collective involvement of these
groups matters at the middle school level.

You can help make a difference by:
1. Helping your child organize by using their student planner, class
notebooks and folders.
2. Helping your child set up a routine by studying at a consistent time and
place.  Reviewing notes taken in class and pre-reading assignements are
also valuable to the success of the students.
3. Encouraging your child to begin big projects early.  Breaking the larger
tasks into smaller chunks and asking for help when it's needed are also
valuable tips for success.
