Welcome+Letter

July 28, 2010 Dear Parents,

I hope this letter finds you enjoying every minute of your summer and getting excited about the upcoming school year. I want to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child to the third grade at South Shades Crest Elementary. Third grade is full of exciting and challenging learning experiences, and I look forward to sharing them with you and your child. I worked at Gwin Elementary for eleven years. This will be my eighth year at South Shades Crest. I guess you can say Hoover is my home. On the back of this letter you will find extra supplies that we will need for our classroom. Please bring these to “meet the teacher” along with the 3rd grade general supply list. I have also enclosed a letter for your child. Our classroom will be open on August 9th from 1-3 p.m. to drop off your child's school supplies. During that time, I would like for you to bring the enclosed entry survey about your child and the contact information. I appreciate your input, as it will help us to get to know each other more quickly. I have asked your child to write me a letter and bring it as well. Please also mark August 19th on your calendar, as we will be having a third grade informational meeting that night just for parents from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in my classroom. We will have a chance to talk with each other, and I will also be able to answer any questions that you may have about the upcoming school year. I will need to collect 7 dollars for magazine subscriptions and 5 dollars for our agenda, or you can pay this online by going to: my website>parent’s corner>paypams. Please check my class calendar on the home page of this web site for any changes in the above dates. Again, welcome to the third grade. I am looking forward to seeing you soon, so relax and enjoy the remainder of your summer. Together we will make this a fantastic year!

Sincerely, Tanya Constantine http://tconstantine.wiki.hoover.k12.al.us/welcome
