Dear Students . . .

Dear Students,

I will encourage you daily to ask questions. From the beginning of school we will start working together to build your self-reliance, problem-solving skills and the ability to ask questions.

I watch your faces for comprehension to help you learn, "When should I ask for help?" I move through the class as you take notes and practice the information being taught. This makes it easier for you to ask a question and for me to see that your work is on track.

I will help you find what works best for you to manage your time for classes, homework and other interests, to advocate for yourselves, to find the study methods that work best for you, and help you start preparing for the work force (it's not that far away!).
