F-1 Weekly Letter

Dear Parents, August 30, 2013

Hello! This is the first Weekly Letter of the year! Your child’s homework over the weekend is to have you read this letter to find out about what we did over the week and upcoming events. Also, it is a way for me to communicate with you about your child’s academic and social behavior on a weekly basis. Not to mention, it is a great conversation piece to ensure your child talks to you about what she/he learned in school that week.

Your child must return this letter onMonday as is (with ticket attached) and with your signature and their signature showing me you both read the letter and talked about it. When they bring the letter back insigned, they get to put their pink ticket in a jar for a raffle to possibly get a reward for making good choices. If they have a Consequence Ticket attached instead of a pink ticket, please sign and have your child discuss that incident with you.

Looking Ahead:
