To the parent/guardian of ________________________, Hello!

My name is Jamie Leffert, and I am student teaching in Kristen DeCroixs 5th grade classroom this winter and spring. I am a student at Boston University, and this is my last practicum experience before my graduation. I began my time in this classroom in the middle of January, and will stay until the middle of May. I have enjoyed getting to know your children and I look forward to the months to come. As part of my student teaching, I will have two takeover weeks in April. During this time, I will take Kristens role as teacher. I would also like to sit in on as many parent teacher conferences as possible. I thought it would be a good idea to send this letter out to you in case you have any questions or concerns about this process. My email address is jleffert@bu.edu. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to meeting those of you that I have not met yet!

Sincerely, Jamie Leffert
