Welcome back and welcome to 2013! I hope all the Defer families had a wonderful
holiday filled with family, friends, and fun! We are excited to pick-up where we left off in our school year. I’d like to thank all the families that attended our December Student-Parent-Teacher conferences. It provided the opportunity to review student achievement and growth and to set goals as we continue the school year. We look forward to this continued progress as school and home combine efforts to help students grow as learners and thinkers. Your support in this process is essential.

Here are 3 great school New Year Resolutions for families:

*Spend time reviewing your child’s homework

*Be sure reading is going on every night in your home

*Practice basic math facts until they become as automatic as reciting your
own name
