Dear Parents and Students,
We are delighted that your child is in our class this year. With your encouragement, your child will be part of many exciting and rewarding academic experiences this year.

Philosophy: we will work together to develop the leader in each student so they can show the way.

Please let us know if your child is experiencing any situations at home or elsewhere, which may be affecting behavior. If your child makes inappropriate choices frequently, I will call you to discuss strategies for improvement and/or set up a conference to meet with you so we can work together to help your child be successful. Thanks in advance for your support at home! We believe the ultimate goal of discipline is self-discipline or self-control. Instead of thinking of discipline as punishment, it should be considered a positive way of helping and guiding children to achieve self-control. In this way, children develop positive attitudes and habits that are so important in real life and overall happiness. Your child deserves the most positive educational environment possible and together we will make a difference.
Sincerely,
The Fourth Grade Team
