COURSE SYLLABUS
Greetings Parents!
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!
We are very excited to begin working with your children and can’t wait to get to know them over the course of the year. Our SAC program at Harding is small with 3 teachers and 3 Teacher Assistants. Mr. Robinson will be your child’s Science and Math Teacher and Ms. Autry will be teaching Language Arts and Social Studies. Mrs. Byrd will be teaching our students who are 18 years and older in our Transition program.
Assessments and classroom participation will determine your child’s overall grade. Homework will be ongoing for the sake of reinforcement. At times we will ask for homework to be turned in; the grade will count as extra credit.
FYI:
Thanks in advance for making this year a great one! We appreciate your support!!
Sincerely
Mr. Robsinson
Ms. Autry
Mrs. Byrd
