Progress is being made - see below for email rom Joey's maths teacher.  But gave Anne rather a worrying feeling when she read the first few sentences!

I am Joey's math and computer teacher. We have the same behavior plan in both my classes: strike 1=a verbal warning is issued, strike 2=post it note on your desk (as a reminder that your behavior needs to adjust), strike 3=a visit to Mr. Maher's office to discuss how to behave in class. Strikes can be for talking out of turn, being disrepectful, or not participating. Since Joey arrived, he has received up to 1 post it in every class. However, he received his first PERFECT day in math class today! When I told him that he made a 100% for the day, he was so excited and asked that I share the information with you.

Today, Joey was able to sit still, focus, and participate more than ever. He was a model student in class today, and I hope that his receiving 100% for the day will encourage that behave more often. In addition, Joey completed his homework last night and in-class warm up exercise with 100% accuracy. The improvements are amazing.

Ms. Hoffmann pulls Joey from half a class one day a week to reinforce the concepts we are learning. I think that has made a huge difference in his confidence, which has inspired this wonderful step forward! I am looking forward to seeing Joey continue to make steps on the road to success academically!
