Dear Parents,
Welcome to Hornedo Middle School, where you can proudly call yourself a Tornado.
This year we will concentrate on a review of basic geography skills and concepts such as map skills and climate. The students will also understand the sequence of events in
Texas History and become familiar with the founding documents and structure of Texas and US government. I will increase your child's understanding of different cultures in the region and their historical significance. I will also teach them organization and study skills.
I ask that your child bring a daily planner, supplies, and two interactive notebooks to class everyday.
Supplies
pencils
colored pencils
highlighter
ruler
sharpener
scissors
glue sticks
The first interactive notebook will be used for class notes, hold assignments, and study for quizzes. The second will be used for the News and Review portion of the class. The Interactive Notebook will be graded. Points will be deducted for late assignments and a 0 for assignments that are not turned in or are two days late. Please remind your child to write all assignments in their daily planner.
If your child is absent it is their responsibility to obtain the assignment from the teacher or another student.
Please visit the parent portal by logging in at www.episd.org under the Parent tab to check your child's daily average.
Please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. In order to confirm that you have read this parent letter send an email to [email protected] with your child's name and period in the subject line.
Thank You,
Lorie Little
