Dear Parents,
Here we are at
the half way point of a successful year. Student achievement is
happening all over Cass, and the positive energy from students, staff,
and parents is all around. The secret is how to keep it going?
As we work together, teachers, parents, and students, both of these
goals become more and more of the routine. We need to raise the
expectations for our students, but do it in a way that is reachable. All
of us need to keep the students accountable to these expectations as
well.
Here at Cass, the teachers will require the students to work when the
bell rings and to follow through on homework and projects. At home, this
means asking more then just surface questions about your child’s’ school
work. Delve deeper and find out what is going on in their classrooms and
what this translates to at home. Provide an environment that is
conducive for school work along with providing structured time for this
to occur. Provide guidance when needed so that your child knows there is
help at home as well as at school. Always encourage your child to ask
for clarification or assistance at school when it is needed.
At Cass, we will ask the students to be “Warriors you should know.” This
means that we will ask them to exemplify the character traits that our
Cass Warrior program is built upon. We will recognize when they are
showing these traits as well. At home, we would encourage you to ask
your child about these traits and to discuss what they mean to you and
your family. Look for ways at home to recognize these traits as well.
One key to all of this is communication. Please don’t hesitate to
contact your child’s teacher if there is ever a concern. You may also
contact me when there is a more general concern or question. We are here
to serve the needs of the students, which means we will try to address
any and all needs we can.
Thank you again for making this a great school year!
Mr. Bleuher
