Johnny,

Keisha had her last tutorial today as she is exempt from taking her final exam in both Chemisry and Algebra. her average is now higher than an 80 in both classes. I did my job so well that I eliminated my student. It was a great year!!!!!

Thank you! Alisha really benefitted from her tutoring with David. In fact, she had bought a "teacher appreciation" card for him and forgot to give it to him. Is it okay if I mail it to Creative Tutors so he can get it?

Johnny,

Next Tuesday will be Ethan's last tutoring session for this school year. He will be attending summer school and when school gets ready to start back up I will definitely be in touch. I have sent payment for the 2 sessions for this month. Thank you for everything.

Mike

I think Ryan likes him. Ted seems really to know how to explain things to a child.

Aisha enjoys her time with Ms. Clark and finds it beneficial.

Today, my oldest child turned 11, and I was overcome with joy and most of all, awareness of my present circumstances. I am turning 35 this year, 24 years older than my oldest daughter, which would make me 74 years old when she turns 50 years old. I realize that at this point, my children will be making some important decisions, most importantly, what to do what dear old dad.

I hopped on the internet, to do some research, understanding that my days as a care taker are slowly slipping through the hour glass, and that my time as one being taken care of are slowly creeping up on me. There is a new nursing home around the corner from our house, and it is reasonably priced at $2,000 a month, which equals $24,000 a year!!!!.

Now, I am not complaining about the cost of nursing homes, because I believe that I am worth more than a measly $24,000 a year, after all I have done for my kids and will do for my kids!!!!! I am not writing this to talk about the cost of senior care facilities, but to make mention of the types of resources necessary to live in them. So, to address today’s topic of why we should invest in our children education, I say to you with the biggest Kool-Aid grin on my face “You must invest in your childrens education because it will determine what type of nursing home you will live in!!!!!!! :)”

Today I received an interesting text message. It read:
"OMG (Oh my God for your other parents who were getting ready to Wikipedia or Google it :)... 90 people or so get the swine flu and everyone is wearing masks. Millions of people have AIDS but no one wears a condom!"

Of course, you know my stance on pre-marital exercise :), but I did think this was interesting enough to write about because it highlights a truth about our perceptions. First off, the statement is exaggerated because it says "no one" wears one, but I wondered to myself how many people would wear a mask and not protection.

I thought about myself. I am sure if you look inward, you will say the same. I know I am going to get 300 emails about this statement, but I believe smoking is terrible and that it kills people, but, I rarely turn down dessert if offered. People, this makes no sense!!! Our perceptions tend to be off in many cases, and have left many of us to make bad decisions in regards to our present and our future.

Dear Key Communicator:

This morning at 11:00 A.M. the Harris County Public Health and Environmental Services (HCPHES) informed the school district about a new Center of Disease Control (CDC) guidance released today regarding the length of time that a school is required to remain closed after a confirmed case of H1N1 virus (Swine Flu). The CDC recommendations state "If a school dismisses students or a childcare facility closes, schools and childcare facilities should dismiss students for a minimum of 14 days." Based on this information, the HCPHES has altered their initial recommendation and Yeager Elementary will be closed until Monday, May 18 pending no additional confirmed cases.

The reason for closing schools during the H1N1 flu season is to reduce the spread of the virus from child to child. It is important to note the CDC also recommends that parents and students avoid congregating outside of the school setting.

As a Key Communicator, I know you are concerned about the health of our community. The district will continue to keep you informed with the most current and updated information.

For more information about this new CDC guidance please consult the resources located at the following website http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/K12_dismissal.htm."
