Be Responsible . . . Be Respectful . . . Be Safe!

Seahawk Scoop

What teachers really want to tell parents

By Ron Clark, author of The End of Molasses Classes

We know you love your children. We love them, too. We just ask and beg of you to trust us, support us and work with the system, not against it. We need you to have our backs, and we need you to give us the respect we deserve. Lift us up and make us feel appreciated and we will work even harder to give your child the best education possible.
