Dear Parents, I am happy to have the opportunity to teach your child fourth grade this year. My most important goal is to provide a positive educational experience for him/her. I set high academic expectations and encourage each student to achieve their fullest potential. I truly want your child to have a caring learning atmosphere that will encourage respect, responsibility, and success for a lifetime. During the first days of school, our class will be discussing our daily procedure, discipline, and cooperation. If you have a concern or question, please feel free to send me a note, jot a message in your child’s agenda, call the school, or e-mail me at [email protected] I will get in contact with you as quickly as possible. Also, familiarize yourself with the school handbook which is on the district website, choose Gardner. I look forward to working with you and your child. Let’s make it a great year together!
