I am eager to meet you personally if you could make time to drop by at school or attend any of the up coming Parent Teachers Conferences/Orientations. Your active participation means a lot to the success of your childs academic endeavors. Having given your child a course outline and for this years math class, I recommend that you go through this document together so you can better guide and monitor his/her progress. You can also check the team website at island warriors13.weebly.com for additional information and the latest school updates. Instructional time is very important while at school, hence please advise your child to always come prepared and to avoid inappropriate behaviors or misconduct. We the team teachers will be requiring your presence in case your child exhibits persistent disciplinary concerns. To better engage my students in the learning process, audiovisual equipments such as student videos and in-class recordings are tools that I frequently implement. I will assume that you are in favor of the use of these instructional methods unless you send me written notice indicating otherwise. Please do not hesitate to call or send a note our way if you have any questions regarding how your child is doing in school. I shall do likewise. Our telephone number is 632-5647. Looking forward to a great year working together. Sincerely, 7th Grade Math ____________________ Mr. Francis S.
