Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to a new school year! I am excited to be your child’s teacher in our self-contained classroom at Greenville Middle Academy. I look forward to working closely with you to support your child’s academic, social, and emotional growth.

Our classroom provides a structured, supportive, and engaging environment tailored to meet each student’s unique learning needs. Through hands-on activities, visuals, and individualized instruction, we make learning both meaningful and enjoyable. Our goals are to build confidence, encourage independence, and help each student reach their fullest potential.

This year, we will focus on:

• Academic skills aligned with your child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP)

• Social and communication skills

• Daily living and functional life skills

• Positive behavior supports

• Pre-vocational skills

• Building a strong partnership between school and home
  
  

Open communication between home and school is essential for your child’s success. I will share regular updates about class activities, progress, and important information through Talking Points: https://bit.ly/3OHpsGO.

I believe that you, your child, and I are a team. By working together, we can make this school year a positive, productive, and memorable experience. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, please feel free to contact me:
