Welcome!

Dear Parents,

It's school time again! I am very happy to have your child in my classroom. I believe that by all of us working together we can make this a very successful year. I consider it of prime importance that you be an active part of your child's education.

You are invited to phone me or visit the school anytime that you have a question concerning your child progress. If you have expertise in a specific field, an unusual hobby, or have a different culture you would like to share, please let me know. I would be happy to meet with you about the possibility of your sharing with our class.

It is important that you and your child are aware of my behavioral expectations. I have always found parents to be very supportive of good classroom behavior so their child has a good environment for maximum learning. I will be working with students to develop a set of classroom rules, I will notify you. Additionally, I hope that you will advise me of any academic, social, or emotional problems should they arise with your child. Should your child become discouraged or fearful about school, please communicate with me so that we can discover the cause of the problem.

I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child's teacher, and look forward to working with each of you.
