Parent+Corner




 * Hello Parents, **
 * Welcome to Sixth Grade!!! I hope you are ready to be apart of T.E.A.M. Twyman. We are ready to kickoff the year on a positive note with high expectations. Our goals are to make as many "touchdowns" as we can. We are striving for the ultimate goal. The goal of being the best Sixth Grade in the BCS System. In order for the team to reach this goal, I want you to remember that "Teaching is a team effort." That means you are apart of this team and I expect each of you to do your part. You are my "Home Coaches." I will be communicating with you via phone, email, text messaging, and internet because your input matters. It is very important that your child knows that we are all working together because we all (students, parents, and teachers) have a job to do. **


 * As a stakeholder in your child's education, I understand that sometimes as parents school can become overwhelming especially with change in curriculum and expectations and at times it seems like the school is unwelcoming. Just know I am not here just for your child but for you also. If there is something you do not understand or just want to learn for yourself, please contact me. I do not mind meeting with you about your concerns. **
