Welcome 2017-2018 Parents & Students!

Dear Parents,
I hope you all had a relaxing and fun summer vacation with your kiddos. I would like to extend an official welcome to each family represented in my class. I am very excited to have the opportunity to influence your child this year. To make the year a successful one, I hope that each of us (parents, teacher, and student) can work together as a team. You are always encouraged to share in your child’s education. I have provided some information regarding this years expectations and classroom information below.
