Welcome Students and Parents/Guardians!

Today your student received a Parent Letter in class. I have instructed them to read over the letter with you, discuss its content, and then bring the second page back tomorrow with your signature and other requested information. The following is an excerpt from the front page of the letter:

Welcome back to school! I am enthusiastically looking forward to a great year with your student and can’t wait to get started. Now in my fifth year as a part of James Workman’s staff, I am so happy to be your student’s 6th grade teacher. It is my sincere belief that he or she will be able to achieve academic success.

In order to ensure that we meet the needs of your student, our efforts should be coordinated and communication is key. Throughout the year, I will send home newsletters and send out emails with important class information and news. Also, please take advantage of my Blog and Zangle Parent Connect to keep track of homework assignments and grades. Middle school can be a challenging time of transition for many students, and your support at home is valuable to your child.

See you September 16, 2009 at Back to School Night!


Please definitely put Back to School Night on your calendars and plan to attend if at all possible. Until then, please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I will be delighted to hear from you!

Have a wonderful first week of school,

Mrs. Pack
