Dear Parents,

     My name is Mrs. Chance and I am excited to be your child's teacher this year.  I look forward to getting to know your child and working with you to provide the best education for your child.  My door is always open if you would like to visit, read us a story, or just have lunch with us. 

     I have high expectations for the students both in schoolwork and behavior.  I believe that every child can learn but they do not all learn the same way.  It is important that your child come to come to school every day.  Missing a day can result in missing out on a letter or a sound that is very valuable.   The bell rings at 7:35 and we start instruction soon after.  Also, please check your child's folder every day.  Important papers and notes will be in folders. 

     If you ever have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, I will always be happy to talk with you.  Kindergarten is a very exciting and important time in your child's life! 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Chance

* We love to have visitors -- but remember to check in with the office before you come to our classroom. 

* Please write your child's name on their snack in that we can insure your child gets exactly what they brought. 

* Remember attendance at school is very important! We need you here everyday!  If you are absent, remember to send an excuse. 

*Please check your child's folder every day.  This is the way we will communicate.  If you send money to school please put it in an envelope with the child's name on it.  Money often gets lost if they keep it in their pocket. 

*We do many hands on activities so if your child does not come home with a worksheet everyday please do not be concerned.
