I will use email and our classroom website to communicate classroom needs or information. I may also use this to keep in touch about your child, when needed. This is the quickest and most efficient way to communicate. Feel free to email me as well. I will get back with you as soon as I can. Please make sure your email address stays updated.
I believe that open communication between parents and teachers is essential to students having a positive educational experience. Please feel free to contact me at any time!
