    Parents as Partners
    Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Please check your students progress on Skyward weekly to monitor their progress.
    Simple conversations at home about topics discussed in class can enhance learning greatly. Please review the resources I make available on the
    bands website accessed through the schools homepage. Support from home is one of the biggest contributing factors of successful students. Thank
    you!
