Dear Parents/Guardians, Greetings of peace and unity! I welcome you to school year 2015/2016! I am pleased to be your child's teacher this school year. I look forward to working with you with your full support to make this school year a true success. For your student's growth in many aspects, things have been planned and goals are set. You can surely help me make a difference in your child's life. The student's agenda planner will contain my reminders and special notes about how your child does at school.

Homework Policy Essential to the learning process and behavior development, homework completion requires a considerable amount of home support. It can be in a form of multiple-subject packets turned in on Fridays or other assignments related to current concepts from class. Incomplete work will result in consequences like lower grade or staying in to complete work during break time. Rewards Vs. Consequences A few options are given for both rewards and consequences. These will all depend on the student's choice.
Kindly review these items with your student. For comments, queries, or suggestions regarding this letter, please feel free to see me anytime. To schedule an appointment, please call the Main Office at (925-6754357) between 8am - 4pm Monday through Friday. Looking forward to your usual support. Let's make the difference REAL. Sincerely, Lyra Bosch, Room 11
