Parent Responses

• IEP Meetings
• This is exactly how he learns.
• Emails
• Needless to say, he is very disappointed because
  he worked hard on it (self-created math final)
  and was so very proud of his success he was
  having in your class.
• He needs to come in after school to make-up any
  standards and assignments to bring up his grade.
• Phone Conversations
• My student will be in every day until they fix
  their standards.
