Dear Parents,

Hello, my name is Miss Janice Wong, and I will be year 6B form tutor for the 2015-2016 school year. Your
child and I will be spending a lot of time together over the next several months, so I would like to take this
opportunity to tell you a bit more about myself. I was born in Hong Kong but I went to high school in the
United States and graduated from Michigan State University, Michigan, United States with a double degree in
Psychology and Biochemistry. I have also completed my master degree in Science and a postgraduate degree in
education from the University of Hong Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong respectively. My
teaching career has allowed me to work with several different grade levels of students. I have taught in both
elementary and secondary school before in Hong Kong, and I have experiences working with non-Chinese
students. This is my first year at CKY, but my forth year teaching, and I am very excited to be teaching our year
6 to 8 Math program this year! I enjoy spending time reading and exercising. I have played Ping Pong since I
was 8 and was part of the school team until I graduated from University. I was also a rower in University for 3
years. I love travelling and learning different cultures; I appreciate the diversity around the world.
It is my belief that communication between the parents and the teacher is critical to the success of the students
in my classroom. The student diary should come to school each day, and return home each day. If you need to
let me know about any changes in transportation, concerns, or questions that you might have, you can write it in
the student diary, which hopefully will also serve as a useful tool in keeping the lines of communication open.
Finally, I would like you to know that my door is always open! If you would like to talk to me concerning your
child, please feel free to schedule a time to come in and meet with me in school, email me or call me at the
school number. My email is wongj23@cky.edu.hk. I will try to get back to you either on the same day or the day
after it is received. Again, I want to make sure that the lines of communication stay open, and please use one of
the means listed above to get in touch with me.

Yours faithfully,
Janice WONG
