A message to parents from Dr. J.A. Gonzalez:
Greetings parents,
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school. Our goal, at Dr. Rodney D. Cathey Middle School, is to provide your child with a world-class education. The staff at Cathey Middle School looks forward to working hand-in-hand with parents to ensure that our students reach their full potential. I am confident that our systematic, standardized professional approach to delivering our curriculum and
instruction will provide your child with a solid educational foundation.
We need your help in the following areas:
- Attendance is of the utmost importance. Give your best individual effort to get your child to school every day.
- Monitor your child’s schoolwork at home. Develop a system that enables you to keep up with your child’s academic progress. Make sure that your child is completing their homework, studying for tests and completing projects.
- Talk to your child about the importance of conducting themselves appropriately at school. Make sure that your child is focused on being the best that they can be everyday.
- Encourage your child to participate in extracurricular activities. There are many life skills that your child can learn from performing in a competitive arena.
- Communicate with your child’s teachers, counselors, and administrators. If you have a question, comment, concern, or reservation, let us know at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Dr. J.A. Gonzalez, Principal
