Dear Parents and Guardians of our children,

We need your support.  Your child needs your support.  We need to make sure that your child is eating healthy at home, getting sufficient sleep, and coming to school on time.  Your child needs a safe place to study, free of interruptions from the television, video games, and truculent siblings.

We need you to make sure that they are doing their homework.  Every child is given an agenda.  In every class the teachers have the students write down their homework.  We need you to go over their assignments with them every night to make sure their homework is being completed.  If students don’t do their homework, then many of our efforts are going to fail.

We need to you be aware of your child’s grades.  Every week we send home a newsletter to communicate the affairs of the school.  There is a progress report on every second newsletter.  You need to be aware of how your child is doing, encourage them on their good work, and find solutions for their shortcomings.  Every guardian has access to their child’s grades and the results of every class assignment via the Internet through Powerschool. Every parent should learn how to access these grades and view them weekly, if not more, on the Internet.

Without the proper support, the high school years can be most difficult for young children.  At Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy we do everything in our power to ensure our children have a safe place to learn where discipline and good work are rewarded.  To allow our children to succeed in school, they need the same structure and support at home.

Respectfully,

Joseph L. Tenbusch
Principal
