A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hello Tarver-Rendon Family!
Wow! What an unusual start to the school year! I want to make sure everyone understands how hard our staff has been working to provide high-quality, engaging remote learning that addresses the needs that our students need who have missed months of school. Our MISD Curriculum department has adjusted the pacing guides to ensure that all students entering a new grade level will have opportunities to learn any missed skills needed in previous grade to make sure they can learn their new grade level skills.
Overall, we have been pleasantly pleased that our beginning of the year remote learning has gone really well. Of course, there are some technology glitches, but teachers have been ready to roll out engaging, rigorous on-line activities. One of the most important things parents can do while their child is in remote learning is to ensure their children have a designated, quiet place to receive this learning. Remote instruction is designed to involve the child at the most independent level as possible, without the parent assist. Trust your child’s teacher! Remember that every Team meeting your child is involved in is recorded. So, if your child misses a lesson, they can go back and watch later.
I also want to thank our PTA for being so proactive as to what they can do to continue to serve our TRE community. Make sure you join PTA. This does not mean you need to do anything! Your membership proceeds helps our school make sure we can continue different software renewals and hands-on materials that we need. We so appreciate this. We have this! Together we will make this unusual year supper-special!
Always call the school with questions or email me, jamienorwood@misdmail.org, with questions. We MISS all of your smiling faces!
Regards,
Jamie Norwood
