From Mr. Robinson

Dear Boulevard Families,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to meet for fall conferences this week. Students do better in school when their parents are actively involved in their academic lives, and attending parent-teacher conferences is a great way to be involved and help your child to succeed. I trust you found your child’s conference to be informative and came away knowing more about how your child is progressing and his or her academic and social goals for the year. If you have yet to meet with your child’s teacher, it is not too late; please call the school today to schedule an appointment. Our goal is to conference with 100% of our families!

Thank you and have a restful weekend!

Neal Robinson

Boulevard Math and Science Night
at Shaker Heights High School

Come have fun with math and science at Boulevard’s Math and Science Night! Catch a show at the Planetarium to see the night sky, or peer through a microscope in our Look and Learn Lab. Whether it’s through making gooey slime, watching dry ice turn water into witch’s brew, or solving a way through the math maze, our aim is to get kids excited about STEM! So join us for a night celebrating all things cerebral and come out to the High School at 6:30 on Wednesday, November 16th.

* We are still seeking volunteers to oversee stations. If you’re interested, contact Rebecca Spagnuolo .
