Dear East Family,
My name is Jennifer Hoffman, and I will be your child’s teacher this year for second grade. I am excited to begin our new school year together on Thursday, August 20th. I would like to invite you and your child to attend our Meet the Teacher Nigh on Tuesday, August 18th at 5:30 p.m. It would be great if you could plan on getting here just a couple of minutes early, as I will be doing a short presentation.After I share some information,you and your child may look around the classroom. Your child will be able to drop off school supplies (see other side), greet new friends, and maybe see some familiar faces. You will also receive an information packet and forms that need to be completed and returned to school. The meeting will last untilaround 6:15. (I have included directions to our room on the other side.)
If your child goes by a different name than I have used on the student letter (nickname, middle name, etc.), you can email me and I’ll try to begin using that on nametags and other things I’m preparing.
I encourage you to send your child to school on the bus the first day. It is a very organized process of getting the children into school with extra assistance and will help familiarize your child with his/her bus location. The buses use the same parking spot every afternoon. It is best to let him/her go through the new routines from the beginning while extra people are around to show the way and ease any fears.
I hope to see you and your child at the Meet the Teacher Night at 5:30 PM! I am looking forward to an exciting and successful year with you and your child. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any information, questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Ms. Jennifer Hoffman
Dear Second Grader,
