A Message From Dr. Ricks
Parents and Friends,
It's been a great week! The energy around the school is wonderful, and the students are busy completing their first round of assessments and projects. I love seeing the walls outside the classrooms with their work on display. The 3rd grade is studying compromise and persuasion (I have agreed to play Bean Boozled--whatever that is!), Check out the 5th ELA class...they designed game boards depicting facts based on their summer reading One Came Home. And, the entire Middle School has mastered their 6 Traits of Writing. If you are on campus, please look for these "masterpieces" and all of the other exciting work on display throughout our halls.
Our Open House is scheduled for Thursday, September 22. This year, we will have one event and the night will begin at 5:30 and will not only provide an overview of programs and state of the school, but will also address what changes and challenges you should expect in your child this year. Teachers will be in their classrooms to help answer your questions and to provide the support that you will need as you facilitate the social, emotional, and intellectual development of your children. I strongly encourage all parents to come meet with their teachers and learn about what to expect this year.
Remember that anytime you have questions and concerns, you should contact the teacher first and then contact administration. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a strong relationship with teachers, and please, when something causes you concern, contact your teachers sooner rather than later. We are here for you and want Grace to be a place where your children thrive. Have a wonderful Labor Day Holiday!
Warmly,
Dr. Beth J. Ricks
