In these very uncertain times, relationships between families and friends are all the more important and precious. Families play a major role in the progress of all students at Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center. Faculty, staff, and administration rely on our parents and community volunteers to support the educational program at our school. In an effort to better improve communications between parents/guardians and teachers, new procedures for contacting teachers has been arranged. Parents may call the main office, and ask to speak with a particular teacher. Ms. Champion or Ms. Berrellez will take your name, child’s name, daytime phone number, and email address. The message will be given directly to the teacher(s). Teachers will return calls within 48 school hours after receiving the message. During the conversation with a parent, the teacher and parent will determine whether a face-to-face conference is required. This procedure allows for immediate contact with a teacher, resolution to problems or concerns over the telephone or through email, and does not impact a parent’s work day. We feel everyone benefits from this improvement in communication, especially your children.
The Northern Trust Golf Tournament will take place at the Riviera Country Club from February 1 to February 7. Revere is very grateful to the PGA for their donation to our P.R.I.D.E. organization. However during that week drop-off and pick-up procedures are very different and sometimes disruptive. The West Gate will be closed to all drop-off and pick-up traffic during that week. A letter explaining the procedures will be mailed to your home the last week of January. Please read the information carefully. In addition a telephone message from the school, further describing the procedures, will follow the letter. I hope we can run this very vital fundraiser without too much disruption or confusion to our mornings and afternoons. Your cooperation is imperative to the success of the fundraiser.
One more important item is the Charter Application Process. Applications to Revere’s 2010-2011 school year are due on Monday, February 1, 2010 at 4:00 p.m. in the Main Office. Late applicants will be placed on the wait list, and will not be included in the lottery. Please remind interested friends and neighbors that the application process deadline is very near. I encourage everyone to complete and return applications as soon as possible. Time is running out.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our Revere families and friends a happy, healthy 2010. Finally, I hope everyone will consider themselves part of our goals at Revere for “Continuous Improvement” in academic achievement, social and behavioral aspects, and personal success.
