Dear Parents, It's
nearing the end of August, you've been hearing the dreaded phrase "There's nothing to do," brothers and
sisters may be bickering having spent three months in each others company, and stores are advertising back to school specials.
Some of you may be excited, while others may be feeling a bit apprehensive. I would like to welcome you and your child to
a new school year.
Let me start by saying how thrilled I am to be working
with your child this year. As you know we have moved to our new location at the former Middle School. Our classroom is ready
to go and I hope you will drop in on Friday, August 20th from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. for our Open House. Students
are welcome to bring in and drop off their supplies. Our door is always open so please stop by and pay us a visit anytime
throughout the year.
A unique tool for our classroom is our class website.
On this site you will find information about our studies for the year and the day to day workings of the classroom, along
with links the students will find helpful with their studies. My hope is the site will be a valuable tool to help keep families
informed about our class, as well as, showcase some of our hard work and accomplishments throughout the year. I hope you will
all visit.
Students will again be using a tool called MUSTANG.
This notebook system is designed to help students be more organized and hopefully more responsible with their school materials
that must travel between home and school on a daily basis. All home to school communication will take place in this
notebook. More information about this tool will be shared in our classroom parent handbook which you will receive the
first day of classes.
I know this year will be an exciting year for
all of us. I am happy to work with you to help your child become as successful as he or she can be. If you ever
have concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Learning takes a team effort; only by working together
can we achieve our greatest potential.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Kay Grover
