Crusading with the Principal
#11
Hello Casas Families!
At the last minute, we were made aware of an error on our report cards around attendance. Because of this error, we are postponing the distribution of report cards until Monday, November 6th. Thank you for understanding!
If you have any questions about the grades when you receive the report card, please make sure to connect with the teachers.
One thing to keep in mind is that although grades seem unimportant and like letters on a piece of paper, it is these letters on the piece of paper that will eventually open doors to other opportunities for our students, as well as provide them choices for their future.
Please make sure you are always working with your student on homework, as well as checking in with your student’s teacher(s) for ways you can support the academic work at home.
Beyond reaching out to the teachers for assistance with the work, homework help can also be provided online through a free program called Brainfuse. This program provides one-on-one tutoring services and is accessible at: https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/user/login. These services are available between 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm. More information can be found here: https://www.chipublib.org/news/free-homework-help/.
Once you are on the site, you access the services by signing in with your library card. If you don’t have a card, don’t worry! You can go to any Chicago Public Library branch and sign up for one….free of charge!
Crusading POMS
The Crusading POMS will be meeting at Casas on November 7th- 8:05 am! The reason for the change is that many of our Crusading POMS are also participating in the Parent Nutrition Class. All are invited! We will be planning our next event for the students.
FUTURE Parents- Thursday, November 9th, 2017
Due to a low turnout, we rescheduled our FUTURE Parent meeting for Thursday, November 9th at 4:00. During this meeting, we will be looking at our work from the first meeting and decide on programs to bring in to help us help our students reach those FUTURE goals. Even if you missed the first meeting- that’s ok!! Please make sure to come to this one!!
