Dear Parents, Welcome to 5th grade! We have a terrific year planned and cannot wait to get started! I am excited to have your child in my class as well as the opportunity to get to know you. I am looking forward to a happy, positive, and productive school year. The goal at West View is excellence, and reaching this goal is a combined effort between the students, teachers, administration, parents, and community. I encourage all of my students to strive for academic excellence, exceptional character, good citizenship, and to be an active participant in our classroom activities. I encourage parents to be active in our classroom and welcome you to volunteer whenever possible. Studies show that parental involvement in a child’s education is one of the strongest indicators of student achievement. Together we can assist your child in obtaining a high-quality education. Please feel free to come by for a visit! I will communicate with you regularly through weekly newsletters and Friday folders. I also post valuable information here, on my website. Another way I can keep you updated is through a program called Class Dojo. I am looking forward to a great year. Again, welcome to 5th grade and welcome to my classroom.
