Welcome to the Jungle

Ms. Susan’s Notes....

I wanted to start by saying hello and thanking all the parents for being patient as this school, country and language are all new to me.

I have started taking Spanish lessons so I hope to be able to communicate more efficiently to several of the parents as the year goes on.

I have met almost all the parents but for those of you I have not gotten a chance to introduce myself to I hope to see you at Open House. I will have handouts regarding homework policy, classroom rules and expectations, grading policy and curriculum. It is being held on September 11 from 5:30 - 7:30. Please bring the whole family!

I have an open door policy and if you have any concerns about your child’s education please come and talk to me. I feel that teaching is a 3 person effort: the student, the teacher and the parent. Please don’t wait until conference time.

Each month I will be sending home a monthly newsletter. This blog will also link to the newsletter so it can be viewed online.
