Parents and students,

Welcome to the 2010-2011 school year.

This will be an exciting year for everyone on middle school hill.  Our new building has classrooms that are the best equipped I have ever seen.  Near the end of October the special education building should be totally remodeled and ready for students.  I am looking forward to teaching in a new classroom!

This year I will have both 6th and 7th graders.  If I have your child in class, please make an opportunity to contact me.  Please feel free to e-mail and check on your child's progress.  I make every effort to answer all messages the same day they are received.  I will send home a letter to parents and a copy of our classroom rules during the first week of school.

Parents, at some time during the year, you will be asked to attend an annual review  conference and participate as an active member of the team which develops the IEP for  your child.  I welcome your input and hope you will be able to attend.

 If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to call the school at 738-6520 and  leave a message for me.  I will return your call during my conference time.  I can also  be reached by e-mail at jcollins@hhs.nwsc.k12.ar.us.

 Let's have a good year!
