Parents,

Welcome to the start of a new school year. I am excited about being the Instructional Specialist  and I am looking forward to a good year. 

As a parent, you can do a great deal to help your student succeed. Here are some strategies that can be used through the year:

• Encourage your child to do his or her homework on a regular basis.  Provide a regular place and time to do homework.

• Have your child show you his or her work and explain to you what he or she has been doing in class.

• Help him or her to be more organized. Look for sections in the notebook that contain class notes, vocabulary, homework, and assessment pieces.

• Have your child explain the words in the vocabulary list or the solution to a problem.

• Encourage your child by explaining that you believe that he or she can succeed through trying and working hard.

I am excited about this school year and its potential for helping your child develop strong knowledge and skills.  If you have any questions or concerns at any time during the year, please feel free to contact me by phone (601) 859 - 0173 or email  tthornton@madison-schools.com. With all of us working together, this year will be a great success!!!!

Sincerely,

Terri Thornton
