While we have talked with most parents already this year, Thanksgiving week is officially Conference Week! We will try and be at as many conferences as we can; however, sometimes student conference times overlap. If this happens, or if we run out of time during your conference, we can schedule another meeting. Also, if you have specific questions, especially on the modifications to homework for exceptional students, please let us know that as well! We know how important it is that every member of the team works to support the student, and we appreciate your help.

Most teachers have some sort of homework assignment due every day. Resource and SLC students should be doing homework as well, but if your student is overly frustrated with the modified homework being sent home please let us know. Developing good study habits and practicing independently are skills that all students need to master. Also, if your student does not have assigned homework (and you would like some), we can provide that for you.
And finally, one of the most important things your child can do at home is participate in reading activities. Reading ability-leveled material at home, listening to books on tape or CD, practicing flashcards, or having an older child or adult read to the them all count as reading activities. Like any other skill, reading takes practice!
