Math Class Calculators

Calculators are being made available in your student's math class for a required rental fee of $5.00 for the 2011-2012 school year. The students will use the calculators in the classroom and will save you over $20.00 to purchase a calculator for your student.

Upon receipt of the $5.00 rental fee, your student will be allowed to use a classroom calculator during the math class as required by the teacher and the day's lesson. Calculators are instrumental in your child's education as they are used in the math classes throughout the school year at various times such as on classroom assignments, unit quizzes/tests, quarterly assessments, and ISAT tests.

All calculators will be kept in the classrooms in order to prevent the loss of calculators. At no time will a student be allowed to take the calculator to another classroom or out of the school building.

The rental fee should be given to his/her math teacher.

6 Pillars of Character

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Did you know that research has found that very positive things can happen (improved coping skills, better relationships and grades) when parents and caregivers spend at least 15 minutes of undivided time per day talking with and listening to their children?

Additional research also reports that children really do look to their parents and caregivers for advice and help about difficult choices and decisions in their lives.

Whether your discussions focus upon family issues, community problems, school concerns, the importance of the Six Pillars of Character Development, or bullying, the messages exchanged between children and their parents and caregivers in just these 15 minutes or more per day, can be instrumental in building a healthier and safer future for children as individuals, family members, students, and involved members of the community.

Let us work together to maximize the full potential of our youth!

Dist. 168/Rickover Junior High Psychologist
