For being part of your child’s learning.
To ensure maximum success for your child, it is
important that we maintain an open line of
communication
Our goal: to fulfill the needs of your childs
education

School begins promptly at 8:20 and continues
until 3:00 (with the implementation of callback)
Please continue to provide the support needed
for your child to attend school and to arrive to
his/her homeroom on time.
If your child cannot come to school please send
a note with him/her explaining the absence.
Your child is responsible to make up all work
missed during tardiness or absences.

To enhance your child’s learning environment,
we will be using interactive whiteboards (ENO
board)
Students will use Castle Learning
(www.castlelearning.com) to complete
assignments and as a study tool.
You can find your child’s homework and
project assignments our class pages found at
http://ms.peekskillcsd.org/site_classes.aspx

Along with the four core subjects (ELA, Math,
Science and Social Studies) your child has other
opportunities to be academically and socially
supported.
Each day, as part of period 4, your child has a
supervisory program.
Monday- Town Hall
Tuesday: DEAR
Wednesday: Walking Wednesday
Thursday: Thinking Thursday
Friday: Fun Friday



This is another academically based opportunity
that your child has each day.
All teachers are available from 2:40pm-3:00 pm
to allow any student needing assistance with
class or homework to interact with the teacher
in a small group setting.
Your child can do his/her homework, study,
practice content, complete missed homework
assignment or project.

If your child is participating in LEAP, they will
automatically be required to attend a callback each
LEAP day.
LEAP is on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
from 3-6pm and runs from 10/1 until May.
This is our afterschool program which provides your
child with opportunities to both attain academic
support, as well as participate in inspiring activities.
Some activities include sports, art, law enforcement,
engineering, drama, dance, music, etc.
