BEHAVIOR

Dear Parents,

It is less than 2 weeks before MIDTERM Exams.  We have a lot of learning that needs to be done.  The students behavior this week has not been good.  Please speak to your children regarding their behavior.  Make sure they understand how important it is to control themselves especially when the teacher is trying to review information with them. 

Thank You,
Ms. Diana
