How can you help?

Check your student’s grades on Infinite Campus regularly, and encourage your student to be proactive about their grades.Contact teacher with any concerns. (Email is best way to contact me, since my voicemail has not been set up.)

Assist in holding your student accountable for his/her progress.

My goal is for every student to leave this class with a good base of knowledge in French and a desire to continue on in his/her foreign language studies.
