IMPORTANT PARENT INFORMATION:

Classwork/Homework Assignments Available 24/7

Please check websites for your Math teachers web-site weekly for announcements, upcoming
events, and curriculum extras. Click on homework/classwork links to view the calendar.

WIN Time (What I Need):

WIN Time is built within the 90 minute class period. During this time students will be able to have
extra help based on their individual needs or Enrichment time if we see your child needs to be
challenged. We are a firm believer in analyzing data and using that to drive our instruction. With that
being said, if we see your child needs extra help in a certain area I will ensure that those skills are re-
taught so that he/she feels comfortable with the content. There are also some great resources online
and you can locate these on the teachers website.

Stay Informed: GRADES - Available 24/7

Please sign up for a parent account with Power School to access your students grades 24/7. You
may have completed this when we had schedule pick up on Saturday July 15th 2017. You will be
