Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s):

Please read over this course outline so that you are aware of the components and expectations of this course. I am looking forward to working with your son or daughter, and hope each student will expand his or her aptitude formathematics, along with continuing to develop responsible work habits.

The St. Mary School website address is

This website provides useful information for parents and students regardingschool activities, forms, and other specific information. I will be maintaining and updating a page for this course throughout the semester, which is accessible through the school site (via staff and staff pages) or directly at this address: I will be encouraging every student to use this site for information about weekly happenings, upcoming tests, and course notes (particularly useful when a student has been absent). You are welcome to use this site to stay “in the loop” with what is going on in your child’s math class.

You can expect your son or daughter to have regular (usually daily) homework assignments. While I appreciate that we all have busy lives, homework is the essential practice required for most students to acquire the skills needed to progress. I will be available most days at lunch for extra help.

I have a “charging station” for cell phones and other personal computing devices set up in my classroom. Students are welcome to charge while they are in my class, however once plugged in, they may not access their device until the end of class. If a student has forgone the option to charge and is found using their device during class, it will be taken from them and given to the office for pickup at the end of the day. The school board policy on personal computing devices is copied on the next page.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact me via email or at the school. I would appreciate you providing an email address on the contact sheet, along with the other contact information.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Mrs. S. Bolger
