Boundary Changes for West
The AISD School Board has been aware
of the overcrowded conditions at
West. Although a new elementary will
probably be built on the Highway 360
corridor, the school will not be built
for several years. Meanwhile, the
Board knows that it is necessary to
reduce the number of students at West
for the 2010-2011 school year.
A
committee will be formed of West
parents and parents from Starrett
Elementary to re-draw the boundary
lines for these two schools. Parents
who are interested in serving on this
committee should call Ms. George,
principal at West, to indicate their
interest in serving on the committee.
Since current sixth graders will not
be affected by a boundary change, only
parents of current PreK through 5th
grade students are asked to volunteer.
The
first meeting of West and Starrett
parents will be held at West
Elementary on Monday, December 7,
2009, at 7 PM. Additional meetings as
needed will be scheduled after that.
The
goal is to have a plan in place so
that the AISD School Board can approve
the changes by the February 4, 2010
school board meeting.
Report Cards Coming Home
Friday, November 20
Time is
passing very quickly! The report
cards for the second six weeks are
coming home with students tomorrow!
Kindergarten and First Grade parents
will be getting the report for the
first twelve weeks.
Please review
the report card with your child.
Discuss with them what they are doing
well and in what areas they could do
better. If you want to go a step
further, here are some suggestions:
1. Write
down the goals for improvement
2. Discuss
how those goals will be accomplished
3. Decide
when progress will be checked again to
determine if the recorded goals are
being accomplished
4.
Throughout the six weeks, ask to see
your child’s Daily Communicator with
homework recorded on the back. If you
are not getting the information that
you need as a parent, contact your
child’s teacher and discuss your
concerns.
Do not wait until
the end of the year to become
involved! |
