Jordan is a Super Star

Jordan is a super star at De Portola Middle! Unlike elementary school where you get all sorts of prizes and recognition, in Middle school they focus on the feeling and satisfaction of a job well done. A pat on the back is about it, however, we did receive the message below in an email today as well as in a voice mail. Its wonderful to celebrate the kids doing well in school. We are so glad that Jordan is learning and progressing in his classes. Since my children do not get an "allowance" we decided that once they are in Jr. high they would earn a reward for their grades. $5 for an "A" $4 for a "B" and money for a "C" under special circumstances sometimes a hard "C" with plenty of effort is better than an easy "A". So a big "CONGRATS" to Jordan on a job well done. A message from DE PORTOLA MIDDLE SCHOOL Congratulations on earning a 3.5 or higher- Dear De Portola Super Star Families, This is principal Listy Gillingham calling to congratulate your child on their recent progress report card which showed they are doing extremely well. I am proud of their efforts as I know hard work leads to good grades and good grades opens the door to wonderful things for their future. Having your child in our classes inspires others to work hard and perform at their highest level as well. Thank you for your support of them and please let them know how proud I am of their outstanding work during our first semester. Happy New Year from all of us at de Portola Middle School! Sincerely, Listy Gillingham
