A message from Principal
Sandra Ledesma,:
Dear Parents,
A strong partnership between home and school is a critical component of your child's academic success. Being well informed allows you to
better support your child's continued progress throughout the school year. The Home Instruction Parent Newsletter will provide parents with important information on what Home Instruction has to offer, such as rising to the challenge, focusing on helping students succeed in literacy and math, preparing for and administering statewide exams as well as RCTS and Regents tests. Technology-based instruction (Achieve 3000) has proven to be successful and improved student's literacy scores from at least 6 months to one year advancement. We encourage you to share your opinions with your child's Home Instruction teacher. An active involvement and ongoing communication will help ensure success as we work together to help your child meet his/her goals.
.
Yours truly,
Sandra Ledesma,
Principal
