Your child has had classroom expectations explained by his/her homeroom teacher. It is my expectation that our school will continue to be an engaging and orderly environment for your child(ren) to learn and achieve.
Education is a shared responsibility. It is important for us to keep open lines of communication between home and school. We must work as a team to guide your child(ren) toward success!
This is accomplished by communicating with your child’s teacher, attending school functions and assisting your child in understanding the importance of education and cooperation.
You, as the parent, are a valuable component of your child’s education.
Parents are always welcome at Newton D. Baker School of Arts and are encouraged to become involved.
The Parent Group offers many opportunities for volunteer services- please get as involved as your schedule will allow! If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the school office 216.838.6650.
