Last week of the Quarter

Throughout the year, our staff has embedded executive functioning routines for our students to help them with their organization, study habits, and motivation. Even though we know it takes time for students to develop these skills - some skills are developed faster than others - we hope you are seeing results. As we approach the end of this quarter, please be sure to check your student’s PowerSchool account for notifications about missing work and final assignments for the week. 

As always, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher, school counselor, grade level principal, or me with any questions.  

Thanks,

Erin
