Welcome to Cedar Drive!

Students 

Go Colts!

You are more than halfway to 7th grade.  Are you working hard?  Are you having successes?  Struggles?  Make sure you are communicating how we can help you.  Remember what we discussed at our grade level meeting in December.  The increased responsibilities and expectations can be tough, but you are not on your own.  Don't hesitate to reach out to your teachers when you have questions.  Your classmates can also be a good resource for help organizing materials or lockers or being a study partner if you have questions about homework or preparing for assessments.  Everyone needs help sometime, so speak up and ask your question(s).

Ways to get involved. . .

1.  Didn't join an intramural for the fall?  Winter intramurals are underway.

2.  Consider jumping into the Student Council.

3.  Participate in our homework improvement program on Mondays & Wednesdays (see Mrs. Asaro & Mrs. Grippaldi).

4.  Get support OR give support through our peer tutoring program on Tuesdays and Thursdays (see Mrs. Burtnick).

Parents

Middle school is a big adjustment for you, too.  Even though we are halfway through the year, we know that some children are still struggling with the responsibilities.  We understand and are here to help.  If you have questions or concerns, email is the best way to reach the teachers on the team.  We have conference slots available for February 26th and 27th.  Need an update?  You don't have to wait for report cards.  Please log into the parent portal any time to get updates on grades.  Also, take note of the comments posted and share them with your child.  They can help both of you.

If you are having trouble accessing the parent portal, please contact Terry Pilitzer for assistance.
