Barre Blast
12.14.14
Good afternoon,
Friday was a big day in the life of our students as report cards were distributed and brought home. For many students, this brings a great deal of anxiety as children are concerned about how parents/guardians will react when they open the envelope. Growing up, I remember this same feeling. My parents' mantra was "It is not the grade that counts as long as you try your best!" No matter how many times they said that though, I was still nervous handing that report card to my mom when I did not receive straight As or get top marks on effort and conduct.
I encourage you to take time to celebrate your child's strengths and their effort over the last several months. Each and every child has so much to celebrate as they worked very hard! Equally important is finding a time in the next week to discuss his/her challenges and areas for needed growth. Ask questions like, what are your goals to improve in this area? How can I help you reach that goal? These are conversations we have in school with your children on a regular basis. I am confident that working together, we can help your child reach his/her goals!
Have a safe and enjoyable week,
Ms. V
