The Game Changers
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Game Changers team teachers want to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to the seventh grade at Park View Middle School. We are all very excited about this school year and hope that your child enjoys a happy and enriching experience with us during the 2021-2022 school year. In order to have a successful year, the team has implemented the following policies:
READING:
The Game Changers team supports reading across the curriculum. Students will be required to have an Accelerated Reader book with them at all times and will be visiting the PVMS library every three weeks with their ELA class. There is an expansive selection of fiction and nonfiction books available from our school library and/or your local public library. In addition, all students are able to access our ebook and audiobook platform through Clever. When they log into Clever, they simply click on Sora and are able to read books on their Chromebooks or through the app on their phone or tablet.
HOMEWORK/PLANNER USAGE:
The Game Changers team requires that all students write their assignments in their planner. Though your child is maturing and in middle school, it is still essential that you monitor your child’s homework by checking his/her work with what he/she wrote in the planner every day. If your child’s planner is mostly blank, or you suspect a problem with homework, please contact the team via a note in the planner, a phone call to guidance, or an e-mail to the team leader at: [email protected].
COMMUNICATION/ASPEN:
As a team, we believe that when parents and teachers work together, students will achieve success thus preparing them to be the leaders of tomorrow. Please view your child’s grades with your child via ASPEN on a weekly basis. If you have any questions or concerns during the school year that require an appointment to meet with our team of teachers, please contact our guidance counselor, Mrs. Bouchard, at 270-8092.
In order to make this year an enjoyable experience for everyone, the Game Changers students and teachers worked together to develop a classroom contract. The contract details the expectations for all of the team members, and has been included with this letter. With your Game Changer student, please review and sign the classroom contract. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Capirchio, ELA Mrs. Caranci, Special Educator/Inclusion Ms. Cusumano, Science
