Message from Principal Jackson
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am that my daughter will be home for the holidays this time next week!!! YAY...happy mommy!! The second quarter ends in two weeks, and I have a parent tip to share. This is something my children used to have to do shortly before grading periods ended. Have your child pull his own grades and bring to dinner for a quick celebration of academic success. Mind you, sometimes the talks were not all sunshine and roses, but the fact that we were empowering our children to own their own knowledge and success (or failures) was huge. The conversations could NOT be about how the "teacher is failing me" or excuses for why they haven't gone to tutorials. The conversations were always about celebrating the positives and making an action plan for the areas needing growth. Give it a try...it really made a difference for my own kiddos. Next week is COLLEGE WEEK. Please see the calendar for the dress-up event per day. Our Band and Choir Winter Concerts are coming up next week. We would love to see you there supporting our talented Panthers. AVID Family Night is December 18th. Can't wait to see all of our AVID families at Evans for an evening of fun.
