Dear Suwanee Families,
I want to thank all of our wonderful volunteers for all you do for our school and students. A reception was held today in honor of all of Suwanee's volunteers. We had many parents, grandparents and community members attend the reception to enjoy coffee, donuts and fruit as a small token of our appreciation. Volunteers help make our school better and we are very fortunate to have so many fabulous volunteers! Thank you for making a difference!

Curriculum & Instruction from the Assistant Principals
|
Our GCPS Mathematics Department has developed an online tutorial to "preview" next year's curriculum or review the previous year's curriculum for extra support. This is a wonderful opportunity to help your child retain needed math skills and get ready for the following year's curriculum. For the cost of just $10 per course, your child will have access from May 26 to August 6, 2010, to these tutorial sessions. Remember, there is no "teacher" to monitor your child's efforts and there are no grades involved. This program is strictly self-monitored. In order to take part in this wonderful opportunity, please print the following attachment and return to your child's teacher no later than Friday, May 14th. Our school representative, Valerie Munson, will give your child their login and password and a brief training session prior to the last day of school. For questions related to registration, please contact Valerie Munson for more information. |
