A Note from the Principal
Happy New Year and welcome back! As the year progresses, we encourage you to talk regularly with your student regarding their class assignments and projects. When your middle school student needs help getting motivated for a task, find a way to make it enjoyable. Let your student know that what they are involved in is important to you. Never underestimate the power of a “Good Job”. Children crave approval – even sometimes aloof middle school students! A positive response, such as a hug or a smile, can be a great incentive. A word of encouragement will show your student that you notice their hard work. Their self-confidence will increase, and they will keep trying.
Thank you for caring and making a difference.
Sincerely,
Jodi Kruse, Principal
Grand Blanc East Middle School
