Dear Families,

My name is Ms. McCullough. I want to express how excited I am to be your

child’s teacher this school year. I am a graduate of Stetson University with a
bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. While at Stetson I had the
opportunity to intern in kindergarten, third, and fourth grade. When I am not
teaching, I enjoy reading, going to the beach, and cooking.

I am excited to grow and learn alongside your child! My goal for this school year is
to fill your children with a lots of love, lots of kindness, lots of laughter, and a mind
that continues to want to grow and explore the world. I will continuously work to
build a safe, positive environment for all my students. In my classroom, we will
create a family who will help and care for each other. I believe relationships foster
the best learning environments, therefore, we will spend our time creating our
classroom family.
This manual reflects the ins and outs of the rules and procedures that will be in the
classroom every day. It is my classroom management plan. Our rules apply
throughout the day, unless stated otherwise to ensure the safety of our students.
Our procedures are the expected behavior students have throughout specific parts
of our day. I expect each student to be kind and ready to learn every single day!

In our class, we will have rewards and consequences as a result of how students
follow the rules and procedures throughout the day and week. Students may be
rewarded individually or as a whole class. Consequences will be implemented when
necessary. All students are expected to follow these rules and procedures.

I can’t wait to see how much your child will grow this year. If you have any
questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at
hrmccull@volusia.k12.fl.us.
Best wishes,

Ms. McCullough
