Good morning Mamadou.

Maisy had a rocky start to 9th grade academically but has started to get herself settled and we are seeing great improvement in her work. Geometry, however, has been a struggle from the beginning and continues to be a struggle.

What Hunter and I are upset about is that Maisy went early in the year to say she would like to be put down into the Algebra class. Mr Watson didn't think she needed to move down. Maisy received a D+/C- on her fall report. Her grades are improving in other classes but remain low with Mr Watson.

What upset us is that Maisy herself asked to be put in the Algebra class. Now she feels she doesn't have any good options and she is still lost in Geometry. Can you advise us on what we can do to help Maisy?

On a positive note, I've attached the letter regarding Maisy and Olivia Heard's award at the Maryland Space Business Roundtable on Tuesday. They were the only two Sidwell students to receive outstanding accomplishment in the Final Frontier’s Outstanding Engineer Competition.

Fondly,

Kathleen
