Students need to feel that they can be successful at mathematics and need to develop healthy 'number sense'.
Our job as teachers and parents is to make sure the children feel confident and to coach and guide them so they
        will succeed and gain confidence.

                         MATH HELP WILL BE HELD EVERY WEDNESDAY, FROM 2:00pm until 3:00pm.  The late bus is available at 3:00pm.
