Tell Us About Your Child!

Because you are the expert on your child, we will need your help to make this a successful year. To help us to get to know your child better, we would like you to “Tell Us About Your Child in One Million Words or Less.” This information can be in the form of a list, a letter, a power point, an e-mail, an essay - any form you wish. We are seeking your expert knowledge on your child. Tell us about how they learn, their study habits, talents, and what teachers have done in the past that did or did not work. We hope you will take the time to complete this “homework” assignment for your child. We think it will be truly beneficial.

Sincerely,

Team 8-2
