Can I volunteer in your classroom or the school?
Yes you can volunteer in the classroom. If you are interested in helping please let me know. We can set up a time to discuss how you can help. Also make sure you apply online at one of the school computers to be approved to volunteer.
When is lunch? Can I eat lunch with my student?
We have lunch from blank to blank each day. You are more than welcome to come eat with your child. Please remember to check into the office to get a visitor's pass.
What day will a work folder come home with graded and ungraded work?
Each Tuesday (every other week) a stapled packet of papers will come home, please look thru, sign, and return it unless it states for you to keep it at home.
What are ways that I can help my child remember homework/become organized?
Each student has a Agenda in which they list their assignments, even if they're already done! I check their agendas everyday, and would ask that you do the same. However, They are responsible for taking all needed books/papers/supplies home with them.
You may want to ask them and/or develop a system to carry this over at home.
Inclusion is a term which expresses commitment to educate each child, to the maximum extent appropriate, in the school and classroom he or she would otherwise attend.It involves bringing the support services to the child(rather than moving the child to the services) and requires only that the child will benefit from being in the class (rather than having to keep up with the other students). Proponents of inclusion generally favor fewer forms of education service delivery.
