We believe that all students can be successful.
We must take responsibility.
The ProblemThe ProblemMiddle School age students are vulnerable. They require a support system of both parents and teachers. However, sometimes it is difficult for us to keep in contact.
In today’s society the value of education is underestimated.
Due to busy schedules parents are unable to attend PTA meetings and other school events.
Education is not carrying over into the home.
