Welcome to SEVENTh grade!
October 2010
Dear Families,
A chill is definitely in the air. The once green landscape around us is
exploding into beautiful vibrant hues of red, orange, and yellow. The
dog days of summer have passed, and Fall has made an entrance! This time
of year is always exciting for me... beginning of a new school year,
getting to know new students, working with new people. With the holiday
season quickly approaching, adults and children alike often possess a
new optimism, greater generosity, and renewed determination. It is with
these qualities that I embrace the challenges ahead of meeting each
students' individual academic needs. My expectations are set high for my
students, and supports are put into place for them to reach their
potential. However, a successful middle school experience relies on each
student's individual desire to do well. Just as the physical landscape
is changing around us due to weathering and sometimes harsh changes in
season, each child will also undergo a transformation throughout the
year. I feel privileged to be a part of nurturing and encouraging your
child's academic, social, and emotional growth. Adolescence can be a
difficult time, but TOGETHER, we can support and encourage your child
along the way. I look forward to the explosion of self confidence,
self-esteem, and academic growth that will greet us in the spring.
Sincerely, Mrs. Silverman
