<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Parents,</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;">                Today, we are sending home your child’s 1</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><sup><span style="font-size: small;">st</span></sup><span style="font-size: medium;"> Quarter Report Card and the 2012-13 Student Support Plan. We look forward to meeting with each of you to discuss your child’s progress and our plan for facilitating your child’s success throughout the school year. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Students are encouraged to attend their conferences. </span></strong></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Conferences are 30 minutes in length and must run on schedule. If you find you need more time, please arrange for a follow-up appointment with your child’s teachers. Thank you for your willingness to partner with the school in this important endeavor. </span></span></span>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;">                As you review the Student Support Plan (SSP), please keep in mind that the very nature of our school is that of support and accommodation. The SSP is a general document that is designed to communicate your child’s actual grade level, his or her performance level based on testing and classroom observation, and the instructional level or placement that has been selected for your child for the 2012-13 school year. We are also documenting your child’s strengths, challenges, specific accommodations, and goals. We look forward to discussing the SSP with you at conference time.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Enjoy your week!</span></span></span>
