Hello. My name is Lindsey Divins and  I am looking forward to an exciting year here at Wilson. Communication among the parent, teacher, and student is an important component for success.  I look forward to talking with you as the school year goes on. Please call or email me throughout the year with any questions and concerns you may have.  

Class Preparedness:  Students are to be prepared everyday with all materials.  Each student is to come to class ready to learn with the required materials.

Homework: Homework is to reinforce and apply concepts learned in class.  If students are assigned homework it is for reinforcement or it is because they did not utilize time during class to get the day’s assignment done.

Missed Work:  If the student is absent it is his/her responsibility to make up any work missed whether it is notes, assignments, or tests/quizzes.  I highly recommend using extra help night for this. 

Extra Help:  Your child’s academic success is just as important as his/her behavior.  Adaptations are made for unique learning styles.  There is absolutely no reason for failure.  Extra help night for mathematics is on Tuesday’s and ELA is on Monday’s after school.  If this time is not convenient, I am happy to accommodate the student with extra help before or after school provided advanced notice is given. 

Accountability:  The students are responsible for all materials, assignments, behavior, and effort for a positive and productive school year.  There are no excuses for being unprepared or acting out in the classroom.  The discipline policy handbook will be referred to and followed for any misbehavior. 

 Classroom Expectations:                                                                

1. Respect yourself and others. 
2. Be on time and prepared. 
3. Be on task.                            
4. Be responsible for all your actions. 
5. Work hard.

If you have any questions or would like to talk with me, please call the school office at 814-874-6600 and leave a message or by email at ldivins@eriesd.org. 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Divins
