Dear Parents,

    You can't imagine how excited I am about teaching your children ! We are going to have a great time in this class, and we are going to learn a great deal together. When I say together, I mean all of us...your child, you and me! We will be working together as a team with a common goal. That goal is to educate and nurture your son or daughter. You see, I believe firmly that we all must work together if the children are to succeed. I can't do it alone; you can't do it alone; certainly the students can't do it alone.

    I pledge to you that I will do my utmost best for your child. I will work to make him or her a better person- more responsible, more caring, and more educated! I pledge to you that I will work to the best of my ability to teach the subject so that your child will arrive at the other end of this year with a better understanding of the material. I pledge to care for your child while in the school so as to increase his or her self-worth. Each child is important to me. I pledge to keep you informed of all that is happening in my class. I will communicate through the class web site, e-mail, and telephone calls.

   I take my job seriously, and I want to do the best for your son or daughter while they are in my care. Let's work to make this a great year!

 

Stay-Tuned:  Ask your child what he or she is studying, and look in the homework folder every night.  The homework folder is where you will find the Home Connections and notes that are sent home, as well as any homework that needs to be completed.  I will also send home progress reports or make phone calls if I feel that your child is not progressing as expected.

 

If you have any concerns or are wondering why something is happening, please feel free to call or email me at any time.  I welcome all concerns, ideas, and feedback that affect your child or our classroom.   If something is not working, I am more than willing to talk.  I welcome all feedback!

 

You should expect that your child will have some type of homework most everyday.  You will always find the homework assignments written on an assignment log that is kept in the daily homework folder.  It will go home everyday.  I encourage you to set up with your child a scheduled time for homework each day.   Students should be able to do most assignments independently, but do help if it is completely necessary.  If you notice that your child is not able to do an assignment on his or her own, please send a note or jot a note to me on the assignment.  I will contact you if your child is falling behind or turning in poor work. 

All students may bring a nutritious snack and a bottle of water to school everyday.    Please also give me a heads up at least a day ahead of time if your child is planning to bring a treat for his or her birthday.

 

Arrival Time:  I also would like to request that students arrive at school no earlier than 8:20.  It is not safe for them to be hanging around or playing on the equipment with no supervision.  I certainly do not want your child to get injured prior to the school day. 

 

Sincerely,

Hong Le
