Parents,
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you and your student at parent teacher conference. I am thrilled about the wonderful goals my students have made, and am excited to see the progress they will make by the end of the year as we review and set new goals.
As you can see by the following due dates there is still much to do this school year!!!! I hope this helps you to help your student plan ahead for the upcoming weeks.

Can't help your student figure it out??? Remember to check out the math text book online by going to www.go.hrw.com, clicking on middle school math, and then choosing the Course 1 2007. I really believe this is a great tool for students to utilize with their homework. Please encourage them to watch the math lessons video and the interactive practices. Additionally, if they need help please encourage them to schedule a recess or after school session with me.
Remember that math homework is 30 minutes of ALEKS each night (total 2 hrs 30 min a week) Most students who are consistently doing all of their homework are very close to passing off the 6th grade section and preparing for the algebra readiness class.
