I am very excited to have the opportunity to influence your child this year. To make the year a successful one, I hope that each of us (parents, teacher, and student) can work together as a team. You are always encouraged to share in your child’s education. I have provided some information regarding this years expectations and classroom information below.

    Remind 101:  
    What is it?  
    The best way to keep up to date on ELAR class: (test info, homework, etc). Teachers text reminders to students & parents.
    How do we sign up?

    Stay on Top of Things!
    Check parent/student access often to set goals, & assess progress.  
    * Z = uncompleted assignments you are responsible for

    This sends a message to you and home that you are or you are not doing your part.  If you start to fall behind, ask for help ASAP!

    Hello Jamie buck. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I did write you through your email id but it seems that you did not receive it. I am blessed and feel privileged and honored to get connected with you as well as know you and your interest in teaching to the student and meeting new people. I love getting connected with the people of God around the globe to be encouraged, strengthened and praying for one another. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 38 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have your young students come to MUMBAI to work with us during their vacation time. I am sure they will have a life changing experience. Even if you come with such students this would be a good exposure for these students in their teens to know what it means to be poor and how they live in the most unhygienic conditions. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends.
