Dear Parent/ Student,

I am anxious to get to know you and your child. Our days and weeks during the school year will be filled with many wonderful experiences and opportunities for learning and growing. As always, I have high expectation for respectful, responsible, and ready students.

My students’ parents have a vital role in my classroom, and have a direct, great impact on their children. I provide a 24/7-communication channel with parents through the classroom homepage at:

Many helpful information will be updated periodically, and email will be answered within 48 hours at

In order for each child to have the opportunity to succeed, there are rules and procedures to guard our classroom’s behaviors and activities. The procedures and rules will be introduced in the classroom as needed. Check the classroom website for any update. Please, discuss these rules and procedures with your students and have them to sign the Student/Teacher Contract.

How am I rewarded?
