PARENT INVOLEMENT
The number one factor in increasing
student achievement is through parent involvement!
Parent Punch Cards
Each time you come to Kettering
to support your child�s education you get a punch on your card. There
are also ways to earn punches at home by turning in �Homelinks� and other
types of homework assigned by classroom teachers (4 assignments=1 punch).
After 13 punches on your card, you will be invited to the end of the year
parent breakfast at the Ypsilanti Marriot with Mrs. Brandau our principal.
There are 2 evening family activities
each month paid for using Title1 and At Risk funds. Check your calendars
each month for the dates and times.
* You can also join our awesome
PTO!
Contact Mrs. Tatom or Ms. Cooley
anytime you have questions or ideas for our parent programs.

arts, math, science, and social studies. Students attend the media center
for the development of learning skills. Literature appreciation,
research skills, and technology are all integrated into the curriculum.

SPECIALS
Weekly lessons in vocal
music, art, and physical education enhance the educational experience of
all children. The arts give students an opportunity to develop their
emotional and intellectual capabilities, and will give them many unique
outlets through which creativity is fostered and encouraged.
