Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to second grade! I am very excited you and your child will join us on a fantastic, year long journey of thinking, reading, writing, playing, discussing, loving and discovering. We will be working closely together this year. I love teaching. I have three children myself and I know what it’s like sending them off to school. I know it’s not easy. But the children love it. So hold back your tears because they will be just fine.
I thought you should know a little bit about me since I will be teaching your most prized possession. I was born in Buffalo and received my degree in Elementary Education from St. Bonaventure University. I taught 1st grade back in New York, preschool, was director of a Huntington Learning Center, stay at home mom, and this is my tenth year teaching in CMS. I’m home at a place I love dearly and don’t ever care to leave. Go Pirates!
This will be a busy year for your child. I can’t wait to work with each of them to meet their own personal goals in becoming a successful student. Parent’s involvement is critical to your child’s education, so I look forward to getting to know each of you. I hope you become a part of our class through volunteering, classroom activities, and communication. Be sure to fill out the volunteer form on the CMS website and sign up for volunteer opportunities as they come available.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any question or concerns at Parkside 980-343-9915, my email address is [email protected] or my cell phone number 704-451-0624. I'm looking forward to a wonderful year of learning.
Sincerely, Ms. Kelly
