November Newsletter

November 3, 2010

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for participating in the Parent/Teacher Conference on Oct. 20.

We can’t do this without you and your help. Your involvement and interest will make a huge difference in your child’s learning experience. Ask your child each day: “What new thing did you learn today?” “Tell me some things about what you read today.”

What is Bullying?

Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent and aggressive behavior directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause fear and distress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-esteem, or reputation. Bullying occurs in a context where there is real or perceived power imbalance. At RVT we are taking Bullying seriously. Please talk with your child about the serious matter of bullying.

I hope you Voted November 2, 2010.

I will keep you updated on the various bills that will come before the Legislators this 60 day session. We will have a new Governor and I suspect there will be some changes.

I am delighted to be a member of the Lordsburg Municipal Schools. I am a native New Mexican. I was born and raised in Deming, New Mexico. I have 5 children and 3 grandchildren. I have 9 years of experience as a teacher in public education in Deming, New Mexico, 6 years as an administrator in the state of New Mexico, and 7 years as an administrator in the state of Colorado. I hold a B. A. in elementary education; an M.A.T. in elementary education and an M.A. in school administration. All from Western New Mexico University.
I have worked with many different civic organizations within communities in gaining support for education. I have served on many and various boards such as School to Work, Chamber of Commerce and one for children at risk. Students are my business. I firmly believe that students can learn if the environment is designed to be conducive to learning. This includes such things as improving instructional materials, professional development, and having specialized resources for students that address their exceptionalities. Please come and volunteer at RVT,
parent involvement is essential for everyone’s learning.
