Welcome to Room 202


Welcome to all the parents and students of room 202. I look forward to getting to know you this year. I will be teaching 8-4 and 8-5 Language Arts, History, Geography, Visual Arts and Drama as well as Visual Arts to most of the other grade 8 classes. Please don't hesitate to call or email me at the school or arrange a meeting if you have any questions or concerns. Following are few guidelines to help your child get off to a great start in grade eight:
1. Regular attendance and being on time are two of the strongest indicators of success in school.
2. If your child does not understand a concept or the expectations of an assignment, encourage them to come in for extra help. During nutrition breaks or after school are the best times to come.
3. Encourage your child to use their agenda to record homework and other important information.
4. Daily reading is an essential part of the Language Arts program. Ensure that your child is reading every day at home.
5. Keep a consistent homework schedule and an area free from distractions for completing homework.
