Dear Parents,

Happy new school year! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year.
To be most effective I am writing to ask you to be a partner with me in your child’s
education. I will only have your child for a short time so I want to make a
contribution that will last a lifetime.

I know my teaching must begin with making children feel at home in the
classroom and helping them come together into a learning community. The
community is made up of unique individuals, each with his or her own learning style,
strengths, interests, history, hopes and dreams.

Would you please help me by taking a moment to write about your child?
What is your child like? What are their interests? What are things you, as a
parent, know that would be important for me to know? What has his or her school
experience been like so far? How do you see your child as a learner and as a
person? What are your main goals for your child this year? Please feel free to
email or SeeSaw me when responding to these questions.

Thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to a wonderful

partnership in your child’s education!

Sincerely,

Miss Grace Bauer
