New Calendar Items Added

I have added some very important dates to the calendar that everyone should know about. This includes the Colony Presentations which parents are invited to and when my first Grade Report will go home. Please check it out and let me know if you have any questions.

Important Information For Your Parents

Dear Parents,

 I hope you and your family had a wonderful and restful Holiday Season.

 As we move into the second half of the school year I wanted to update you on a very important change in order to keep you updated on the academic progress of your student. Effective the beginning of January you will be receiving a detailed progress report from me at the end of each unit of study. This report will give you an up-to-date understanding of how your student is doing in class. The report will include a letter grade for homework, tests, and class work. Along with the letter grade there will be an explanation as to why your student earned that particular letter grade.

 I believe that these updates will give you a better understanding of how your student is doing and why they are receiving the grade. Progress reports will be sent home every two weeks. Please sign and return them to school the next day. Please contact me if you so not receive these reports so we can determine why you are not receiving them. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Please note that you will continue to receive your weekly behavior reports as in the past.

 Sincerely,

Mr. Williams

Estimados Padres,

 Espero que usted y su familia disfrutaron y descansaron durante las vacaciones festivas.

 Entrando a la segunda parte de el año escolar les quería traer al día en un cambio muy importante para mantenerlos informados en el progreso académico de su estudiante. Efectivo desde principios de enero estará recibiendo un detallado reporte de progreso a finales de cada unidad de estudios. Este reporte les dará información del trabajo que esta haciendo su estudiante en clase. Este reporte incluyera un grado por sección: tarea, exámenes, y trabajo de clase. Acompañando el grado, también recibirán una explicación en porque su estudiante esta recibiendo este grado en particular.

Creo que teniendo este reporte de progreso tendrán una compresión mejor de cómo su estudiante esta trabajando en clase y porque están recibiendo el grado que tienen. El reporte de progreso será enviado a casa cada dos semanas. Por favor fírmenlo después de revisarlo y mándelo de regreso con ellos el síguete día. Por favor comuníquese conmigo si usted no recibe este reporte para que podamos determinar porque no lo esta recibiendo. Comuníquese conmigo si tiene alguna pregunta o preocupación.

 Por favor note que usted continuara de recibir el reporte semanal de comportamiento, como le hemos hecho anteriormente.


Sinceramente,

Mr. Williams

Important Information for the Week of Decmber 5th

Dear Parents,

Your student will be participating in two very important events over the next couple of weeks that I want to make you aware of. First, on Tuesday, December 6^th, at 6:30 pm we will be performing at our annual Winterfest.  Due to the large turnout last year of parents, family and friends this year’s performance will be held at the PCC. The PCC has graciously offered their facility as it is larger than the auditorium at M.I.T. The PCC is located at 3560 Farm Hill Blvd. in Redwood City. I would like students to be there no later than 6:15 pm.  Secondly, we have been asked to perform the Preamble to the United States Constitution and sing a song we have been learning for the Redwood City School Board of Trustees on Wednesday, December 7^th at 7:00pm. This is a tremendous honor for your student and our class and I would like to see 100% participation from my students.  Your student should arrive by 6:45pm to the Redwood City District Office located at 750 Bradford Street in Redwood City. I will meet the students in the lobby. Once the performance is over the students will be free to go home. Students who attend these evening performances will not be required to do the homework on the event nights. Please mark your calendars for these two very important events for you and your student.  I look forward to seeing you on December 6^th and 7^th.

Thank you,

Mr. Williams

  

Estimados Padres,

Les quería avisar que su estudiante estará participando en dos eventos muy importantes durante las próximas dos semanas. Primeramente, el Martes, 6 de Diciembre, a las 6:30pm, estaremos presentando nuestro evento de invierno anual, Winterfest. Por el gran numero de asistencia el ano pasado, este ano tendremos la presentación en el local de PCC. El local de PCC a graciosamente ofrecido sus facilidades siendo mas grande que el auditorio de M.I.T. El local de PCC esta localizado en el 3560 Farm Hill Blvd. en Redwood City. Me gustaría que los estudiantes llegaran lo mas tardar a las 6:15pm. Segundamente, nos han pedido ser parte dela presentación del Preámbulo de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos, cantando una canción que hemos estado aprendiendo para la Junta Directiva Escolar de Redwood City el Miércoles, 7 de Diciembre a las 7:00pm. Esta es un tremendo honor para su estudiante y a nuestra clase y a mi nos gustaría ver 100% participación de todos mis estudiantes. Su estudiante debe llegar a las 6:45pm a la Oficina Principal del Distrito de Redwood City, localizado en el 750 Bradford Street en Redwood City. Me juntare con los estudiantes en el lobby. Cuando termine la presentación los estudiantes se pueden ir a sus casas. Los estudiantes que asista estas dos presentación no estarán requeridos hacer si tarea en la tarde de los eventos. Por favor márquenlo en sus calendarios para estos dos muy importantes eventos  para usted y su estudiante. Espero verlos el 6 y  de Diciembre.

  

Gracias,

Mr. Williams
