Dear Parents and Guardians,
 
After a few days of school, your student has shown the type of behavior and study skills that are appreciated by the staff and other students at Brier Terrace Middle School. This year I am teaching Language Arts, and Social Studies. I have enjoyed getting to meet the students and look forward to knowing them. Each student will receive a copy of the classroom rules for you to look at together. The following information may already have been told to you by your child, but if that is not the case, please read through the following message.
 
Supplies needed are pencils and erasers, blue, red or black pen, a spiral notebook and a binder. For the Social Studies class, they also need colored pencils, and glue sticks.
 
Homework is due at the first of the period the day after is assigned. If it is a long-term assignment, a due date will be given and should be written on the calendar in their plan books. Late work will not be accepted, unless it is a project. Students will lose 10% per day that it is late. Absences should be completed as soon as possible.
 
Our emphasis in English will be to develop the skills necessary to become an excellent communicator. We will focus on literature, spelling, vocabulary, reading, writing, and poetry. Accelerated Reader will be an important part of each day. Please encourage a continuation of the reading activities at home.
 
World Geography and Medieval History are both the emphasis of the seventh grade Social Studies program. Map skills, the development of the surface of the earth, and the problems created by an ever-changing environment will be explored. We will explore the ways that the earth’s characteristics and different religions impact the people on our globe.
 
Our behavioral goals center on a respectful atmosphere to be practiced by both students and teachers. Everyone is accountable. I am sure that you have many questions beyond the scope of what is contained in this letter. Curriculum Night is and excellent time to further discuss these.
 
All of my students are wonderful young people that have the potential to do whatever they choose. I look forward to meeting you.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Ann Marie Kellett
