Dear King Parents,
We are all part of the team to support our students. The triangle of success has 3 components, the students, who are the focus of our work, the teachers and parents. Together we work for our children’s academic learning and success.
Our job has many facets:
The following are some chunks of information that I provided to parents at various workshops:
Reading the Report Cards: Congratulate your child for every /, A, B, C, S or E. Discuss areas for improvement: Have your child write a reason for every D, F or U beginning with “I………” Remember report cards are mailed every 4 weeks.
Calculating Course Credits: Your child has 6 classes every semester. For every A, B, C, or D your child earns on each semester final report card, he receives 5 credits. There are 30 credits possible every semester. The goal is 55+ credits! Remember F’s earn 0 credits.
Calculating Grade Point Averages (GPA): Grade points are based on letter grades. A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Your child has 6 classes every semester. Add the grade points earned and divide by 6 to get your child’s GPA.
Please join us for our next set of Parent Workshops on “Raising Children In Troubled Times” beginning Wednesday, December 6, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. I will be facilitating our first workshop.
WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THE BEST LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME.
Respectfully,
Charlene Hirotsu, Principal
