Dear Parents,
I appreciate all that you do! I am extremely proud of each child in my classroom. They are great kids and a joy to teach. I look forward to the rest of the school year. If I have not met with you for a “Beginning of the Year Conference” I would love to do that soon. Please just send me a note in your child’s planner and let me know when would be a good time for you. My planning period is at 10:05.
Sincerely,
Emily Smith
