Celebrate the successes, especially when your child receives a 3 for Learner Behaviors!  If you have any questions after receiving the report card, don't hesitate to reach out the your child's teacher or another member of the LaPerche team.

This session will focus on how we are strengthening education in every classroom to prepare all students for success after K-12 schooling. We will start by talking about what the Common Core Standards are, and then discuss how the Department of Education, districts, schools and teachers are working together to implement great instruction. We will spend some time getting familiar with what will and won’t change in classrooms, and finish with an opportunity to discuss any questions you have about the Common Core.
