2009-2010: The Best School Year Yet!

Hello & Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year!

This school year at Providence Creek Academy Charter School promises to be the most exciting year yet! With our newly-built school and new facilities, our charter school truly reflects the caliber of student that we teach - simply, the BEST! Students and staff alike look forward to the first day of school, which will be on Tuesday, September 8.

There are many changes and challenges ahead this year. I hope to work with each of you to help your child succeed. In previous years, I sent a daily email to parents with a description of the day’s activities and homework assignments. Many parents felt that this “service” was quite helpful and informative. I plan to continue, so please send me an email at elambert@pca.k12.de.us if you would like to be on the email list.

You will receive a more in-depth description of my grading policies and expectations shortly, which I will also post on this website. For the time being, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me at the school or to email me. As your 7th grade student’s Reading and Writing teacher, I look forward to providing the knowledge and experiences that your child will need to better his/her future. I have very high expectations for all my students, because I know that you have high expectations for them as well. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your children. I hope, together, we can make this the most rewarding year yet for your child.

In addition to the school supply list provided by the school, I ask that each student bring 2 two-pocket folders (with braids for securing paper) for Reading and Writing classes. These folders will be for classroom use and will remain in my room for the year. Thank you.

Donations to the Classroom

It is no secret that the success of a student and of a school rests upon the support received from parents and caregivers. Personally, I consider myself truly lucky to have met and worked with such cooperative and caring parents. Many parents have asked if they can help by donating needed or often used items. My answer is a resounding "YES!" If you have the means, I would truly appreciate donations of the following items:
Boxes of tissue
Paper towels
Wipes (sanitizing/cleaning)
Poster board
Filler or computer paper
Pens/pencils ("junky" ones are just fine)
Markers
AND YOU!! If you'd like to come into class and help out one day, we would love to have you!
Of course, anything else that you wish to donate would be useful and appreciated. I'm always surprised at the things I use and need throughout the year. I thank you for your on-going support.
Thanks again,
Mrs. Lambert
