Welcome...

Welcome to the start of the 2011-2012 school year at St. Anthony School. I am excited to be part of the Middle School team and the St. Anthony family. I bring with me over 20 years of teaching and administrative experience which I hope will enhance the program offered here at St. Anthony's.

While I will serve as the 8th grade Homeroom Advisor, I will also teach all Math and Science classes for the Middle School grades.

I hope my pages offer you useful information and helpful resouces to assist you in your child's educational experience. Please feel free to email me at my NEW school e-mail address harold.dershimer@stanthony-school.org with any questions/concerns you may have throughout the school year.

I look forward to building a solid relationship with each student and parent while working with you to provide an enriching and successful school year.

Sincerely,

Mr. Harold Dershimer

HOMEWORK POLICIES

Homework is required for students to practice and gain mastery in specific skills. Homework is posted daily, must be recorded daily, and must be returned daily. Students arriving with missing or incomplete assignments will take home a PARENT COMMUNICATION FORM and be subject to the consequences as posted in our Middle School Discipline Policy. Missing assignments will be made up THE SAME DAY-after school in our new homework detention room. Should your child be absent from class, I ask that you call or check webpage for assignments. Students will be given additional time to complete homework when necessary. Generally, when a student is absent one day, there will be one day to make up the assignment. In addition, should an emergency keep your child from completing an assignment on time, simply send along a signed note explaining. After raising two children myself, I understand when things "come up". Life happens.
