Setting up the First Days of Class

Connecting with students begins in the summer. To start this connection, I send a postcard about a week before the first day of school. This gets students excited for the start of the school year, and gives them a photo of my face (an added comfort for those that have not meet or seen me before). Below is a link to a letter that will be emailed to parents as well.
