Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you well and that you and your family have enjoyed a wonderful summer break. As we start this new school year, I am excited to welcome your child to 5th grade! I have had the pleasure of getting to know them over the past few days, and I feel confident that this is going to be a fantastic year!
In 5th grade, we aim to prepare students for middle school as early as possible. This year, we have introduced different sections for their Encore classes. Instead of attending these classes as a homeroom, the students join groups with peers from other classes within our downstairs pod who are in the same section. I love the idea of having them interact with students from different homerooms.
I believe that communication is key to success for our 5th graders. I will keep you informed about classroom assignments by posting everything on a shared calendar between Mr. Suhayda and myself. All upcoming tests and homework will be on that calendar. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you might have. You will find the link to the shared calendar on my teacher web page, and I will also list it here: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/embed?bgcolor=%23f83a22&color=%23000000&src=centralvalleysd.net_6oj05emfn72odaih453n749p34@group.calendar.google.com. Open communication ensures that we can work together to support your child’s learning journey.
I am looking forward to being your child's teacher this year. I believe that every student is special and unique, and I strive to create a classroom environment that is stress-free, peaceful, and safe. My goal is for your child to feel accepted at all times.
Mrs. Latshaw
