Greetings!
Welcome Back! What an exciting time this is as we open our school doors at 101 School Street for the last time. Watch for exciting transition up-dates in upcoming newsletters.
As we know, most students are “ready to return” by the end of August. It is not uncommon for students to set high expectations for themselves at the start of the school year. Let’s build on these positive thoughts by helping our children meet their goals. Here are a few suggestions:
- Make sure your children fill out their assignment planner daily. Help them set timelines for completing work. If the planner is forgotten, parents and students are welcome to come back to pick up forgotten materials. The school is open until 5 PM.
- At least weekly check Infinite Campus with your children. As grades are entered, they are automatically available to you online. Contact Lisa Berg at SFMS if you have questions about gaining access.
- Set a study time after school and encourage your children to stick to it.
- Frequently talk to your children about assignments and their progress with them. If they feel nagged, remind them nagging is just another way of saying “I love you.”
- Teach your children to be an advocate for their own learning. Teach them to make appointments after school with their teachers to get help. If they don’t ask, they are less likely to receive the help they need. It is important to ask questions and get help in order to learn.
Thank you in advance for your partnership this year.
Sincerely,
Meloney Markofski, Principal
Sheboygan Falls Middle School
