Greetings, Cobra Families!
As we begin the second semester of the 2018 – 2019 school year, this is the time of year where we are really getting focused on making sure we are effectively teaching all grade level standards and skills, that we will have it all covered by the end of the year, and that students will be prepared to take the SC Ready and SC PASS tests.
The beginning of the second semester seems like a good time to remind everyone of a few key practices that support teaching and learning. As always, I ask for your help in getting your students here on time every day—even a few minutes or a couple of days missed from a class add up to a real loss of instructional time for your students.
Parents/guardians will be picking up report cards soon (Jan. 24th) and I encourage you to discuss grades with your student and refocus on some goals for this semester. Make a New Year’s Resolution to help your student stay on top of assignments, and contact teachers or counselors if needed. We are only here to help your student succeed. Also, if you have not already done so, now is the time to sign up for Remind so teachers can send out reminders about assignments and/or upcoming tests. Parent Portal is the easiest way to quickly stay on top of your student’s grades and attendance. If you haven’t already done so, please contact the school so you can sign up for Parent Portal. It’s important to do all we can to keep students strongly motivated during the second half of the year.
It’s really been a wonderful school year so far, and I look forward to a great second semester. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, we’re always just a phone call or e-mail away. Let us know how we can help, and we’ll work together to take care of any issues that might come up. Thanks for all that you do to support the kids at Rosemary!

Thank you for all of your support, and let’s get off to a great second semester!
