Dear parents/guardians,

Welcome to the beginning of another super fantastic year! I am very excited to have your son/daughter in my class this year! I am looking forward to getting to know both you, and your children, this year. Grade eight students will achieve much this year in terms of academic growth, greater self-confidence, and improved social skills. Good communication between parent, teacher, and student is very important for your child’s academic growth. I do encourage a great deal of independent reading for pleasure with my eighth grade students. Developing a love of reading is so important to a child’s educational future, and I view reading for pleasure as a priority. We have a great selection of books, right in our own classroom. These books are of ALL reading levels, available for students to check out.

I believe that by all of us working together we can make this a very successful year. I consider it of prime importance that you be an active part of your child's education.
Let's make this a great year!

Sincerely,
Chenita Mckoy
