I would like to thank all of my students and their parents for making this year a memorable one. While my 7th grade students offered me a challenge, I accepted it and am very pleased and proud of the way that they responded. I found that they matured and were accepting and positively responsive to direction (and re-direction when necessary.) Please continue in your support of your children and their desire to succeed.
If my current 7th grade is indicitive of the future, 8th grade at ANS next year will outshine previous classes.
I can't wait until next year. However, I will miss my kids from 7th grade. They drove me nuts a lot of the time, but they always came through for me.
I LOVE YOU 7TH GRADE!!
Mrs. Ursula Yeatman

My Pledge to my Students:
I will trust you until you give me reason to do otherwise.
I will respect you and work with you to solve problems.
I will promptly correct and offer feedback on your work.
I will work with you to meet learning goals.
I will offer extra help and alternative assessments should you require them.
To Parents:
What can you do at home to help your child be successful at school?
In the middle years, some parents feel that their children should become academically self-sufficient and mature, trusting that they will do all of the things necessary to succeed on their own. Studies have proven that, in fact, the opposite is true - students in the middle grades need your help, support, and at times, coercion in order to be successful. Here are some things that you can do:
1. Review the homework book each day ( this is a major source of communications), as well as their notebooks to make sure that both are up-to-date, neat, and organized.
2. Express a positive interest and attitude in your child’s schoolwork! Avoid the pitfall of saying, “Oh, I was never good in _______ class.” This only fosters a negative attitude in your child towards that subject.
3. Oversee a weekly backpack and notebook clean-up, if necessary.
4. Check to see if any additional supplies are needed, especially paper and pens.
5. Establish a consistent homework time in a quiet, well-lit space.
6. Make sure that homework or projects are done! If several days go by and you don’t see any signs of language arts or other subject homework, there is a problem.
7. Praise your child often! Your positive attention is the best reward for a job well done, and is more valuable to your child than any incentive I could offer.
I am looking forward to a very successful year with your child. Please call or send a note or email if you have any questions or concerns. I’d welcome a dialogue with you. Your child is fortunate to have an interested and concerned parent to guide him/her through this year!
