The Start of Something New
First, I would like to welcome everyone one to our room. Summer is officially over with the passing of Labor Day. I am excited about this school year. I look forward to teaching your students. I am anticipating a good year.
I look forward to meeting those of you that I did not meet during registration at this year’s open house. I sincerely hope that all parents/guardians are able to attend. Our Open House is Tuesday, September 16 from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
This year we are excited to have Miss Fiaoni as a student teacher. Miss Fiaoni is from Saint Xavier University. She will be in our classroom until December.
Please remember that your support and involvement are essential to your student’s success. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
