Dear D. A. Grout Families and Friends,

We are all partners in helping our students to achieve higher academic standards. To support our young learners in their quest for excellence, teachers are receiving more training about the new standards and how to incorporate them into the curriculum. As all of us expect more of our children and from ourselves, we will begin to see our efforts pay off. Parents, you are the most important factor in your child's academic success. Some things that you will want to do on a consistant basis:

• Expect more and you'll get more
• Become familiar with our school and your child's teacher
• Make sure your child comes to school on time and prepared to work
• Review all homework
• Read to and with your child every night
• Talk with your child's teacher

The world of work for our students will require that they know more and have a solid foundation for their middle school and high school years. We can do that together.
