Welcome to the first year of high school for your son or
daughter! Our staff is eager to learn with you and your family in
the coming months. Besides meeting you at Fall Registration and Open
House, we look forward to seeing you in our school, at school events,
and in the community. Please introduce yourself and your family.
You are your child’s most important teacher and we want to
build on the years of learning you’ve provided for him or
her. Family practices, such as those listed below, may further strengthen
your son’s or daughter’s success in learning:
- To the greatest extent possible, make certain that your
child attends school every day unless s/he is ill.
- Expect and encourage regular study and reading time at home.
Establish a "place" for study and establish a routine.
- Ensure appropriate sleep, nutrition, safety, and friendships.
- Maintain school supplies for your child – at home
– as well as at school.
- Monitor computer, television, and video game time.
- Promote a balance between academics, activities, and any
work responsibilities. Don't let your child become overextended.
- Show interest in your child's school work and what
s/he is learning, as well as the grades s/he is earning. Reinforce
your child’s effort as well as grades.
- Encourage your child to ask teachers questions when s/he
doesn't understand.
- Encourage your son/daughter to advocate for him or herself
with peers and adults. Role-playing can help a young person learn
how to address a difficult topic.
We can help each other this year by practicing effective communication.
When parents, teachers and administrators communicate in a proactive
manner with openness, honesty, and mutual respect, students benefit.
Please contact your child’s teachers when you have learning
concerns. You are welcome to contact your child's Team Leader
or me about any issue and we will do our best to listen and assist.
We look forward to our service with you this year.
Sincerely,
Mr. Kent Abrahamson, Principal
Ms. Barbara Goetschel, Team Leader/Associate Principal
Mr. Shane Scott, Team Leader/Associate Principal
Mr. Bryan Stearns, Team Leader/Associate Principal
