I realize that teaching your child is a privilege, as well as a tremendous responsibility. I will do my best this year to ensure that each student has a motivating and safe learning experience in this classroom. However, I cannot do this alone. I need your help. We both need to be partners in the learning process of your child. I need each of you to encourage your child at home by helping to ensure that he/she has completed their assignments, and help them study for quizzes and tests, if necessary. I know that with your help, we are going to have a great year!
