Dear Students/Parents/Guardians,
Mr. Rahman and Ms.
Wang would like to welcome your child to the 7th Grade at Blueprint
Middle School! We will be your child’s 7th grade math teachers. We are very excited
about working with you and your child. We know we will have a successful and
productive school year in Room 233.
As we begin the 2017-2018
school year, we would like to remind you that Blueprint Middle School is a uniform school. Our expectations are
that each student will arrive according to the appropriate dress code, which is
as follows: blue polo, navy blue pants, and black sneakers.
Additionally, your
child will need the following supplies for class by Monday, September 18,
2017:
1.
1 Spiral
Notebook (college-ruled for homework)
2.
1
Grid-Lined Spiral Notebook (for classwork)
3.
2
Folders (one for classwork and one for homework)
4.
Pencils
– (we
only use pencils in math!!!)
5.
Erasers
There are many
ways you can support your child’s academic progress at home:
1.
Ask
your child what they learned in school every day.
2.
Encourage
your child to ask questions in class and come in for extra help when they need
it. We are available before school, during lunch, and after school!
3.
Make sure you receive your child’s progress report
once every trimester!
Please contact
us with any concerns or questions you have at any time. You do not have to wait
until parent/teacher conferences to get in touch with us; we are always willing
to talk to you. We look forward to frequent communication with you as we work
together to ensure your child’s success.
Feel
free to contact us at any time via email:

Mr. Rahman and
Ms. Wang
Class Expectations
There are two expectations
for all students and members of the Blueprint Middle School community: that we
demonstrate respect and responsibility at all times.
Learning Choices
When you choose
to ignore these expectations, this is the process we will use to help you
get back on track:
1.
Verbal
Warning
2. Detention/phone call home
3. Referral to Dean
Syracuse Trip
Every year, Blueprint Middle
School invites our 7th grade students to an overnight free field trip to visit our Principal
Ms. Harrington’s alma mater, Syracuse University. Though the official dates for
this school year has not been confirmed yet, this field trip often takes place at
the end of May or at the beginning of June. More information will be discussed
during the 7th grade orientation that will be held at the end of
September.
Class Blog
Please follow us at www.blueprintmath701703.blogspot.com for class announcements, reminders, and homework. We
will be updating the blog everyday so that both students and parents can have
access to the day’s homework assignments, so even on days that students are
absent, they’ll have the opportunity to keep up with the work!
PS: Please
bring in a re-usable water bottle—it
saves plastic and time spent out of the classroom going to the water fountain J
