Only educators get to enjoy two "new year's" days each year. Obviously, at the beginning of the school year, everyone is excited about new beginnings and a commitment to having a successful school year. Then again, when January 1st rolls by, we have a change to renew our commitment to doing our best.
Just as I have made the resolution to be out in the building more and away from all the paperwork on my desk, I ask that families make resolutions that will help the student and school be more successful.
1. Make an effort to get to school on time with all the materials you need for the day. Arriving at the last minute or late adds a layer of stress that impacts your child's success. The review work that is done from 7:20-7:50 helps students retain mastery of the skills already learned.
2. Check book bags daily for your child's agenda/folder to ensure you are aware of how your child is performing. The school works are to communicate with you and papers are sent home daily that you need to read.
3. Collect Educators for Boxtops and send them into the school.
4. Use the Publix card (free) when you check out. This allows the store to send money to Teasley.
5. Follow the rules and procedures set forth in the Parent Handbook. Simple rules like dropping your child off only in the carpool lane and not interrupting classroom instruction help us keep children safe and focused. The handbook is filled with useful information and was shared at the beginning of the school year. If you would like another copy, please contact Becky Hayes, 770-437-5945.
6. Communicate consistently to your child the importance of education and accepting responsibility for doing his/her work. School is their job and it is critical that they learn the life skills needed to be successful.
My commitment to you is try my best to ensure that a quality instructional program is provided for each and every student. Join me in this commitment and the second semester will be a great one.
