Welcome to 6th Grade!

My name is Mrs. Boulai and I am your child's math teacher.

Let's start off the school year right by emailing me with any questions or concerns.

Here are a few strategies to help your child excel in math:

·        Check your child’s agenda every night.

·        Look through your child’s binder and help them keep it organized and clean (this is also an excellent way to see the math concepts covered in class).

·        If your child tells you they have no homework or have already completed their homework, PLEASE check it over!

·        Examine your child’s homework to ensure it is complete and neat.

·        Ensure your child completes practice problems at home in preparation for quizzes.

·        Review interims and discuss the scores your child earns.

·        Encourage your child to seek morning help (7:50-8:15), if needed. Also encourage your child to attend SMART lunch sessions (math remediation during lunch) on Mondays and Wednesdays when I do not have lunch duty.

***Please note that 6th grade track 2 will utilize a blackboard website soon.  Your child will bring home a letter stating when this change goes into effect.
