This Week's Agenda

Curriculum Night Availability

Hello Parents,

Due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict, I will not be present for Curriculum Night here at Derby slated for Thursday, September 14th .

However, I will be making myself available on Friday, September 15th, between the hours of 6 pm and 8 pm in room 205.

Also, I will have my room open on curriculum night and ask that a brief video introduction be looped on our fancy new screen.  This should answer many basic questions about my educational philosophy and pedogogy.

Here is a link to that video:

Furthermore, your child has already received the following handout which contains a one page  overview of this year's curriculum.
