Dear Parents,

Welcome!   I'm excited to begin a new year, getting to know you all and making wonderful memories.
I am enjoying getting to know your children these past few days. I love them already!   I have a great bunch of students this year.  It seems that I always get an amazing class, and I have you to thank for that.  You are doing an admirable job as parents, and I realize that you are trusting me with your most valuable "possessions".   I want you to know that I take that responsibility seriously.  I will do all I can to make sure they feel safe here, and that they are stretched academically.

     *We are working for a yummy pan of brownies, but we can't get it until the entire class has come prepared with math homework ten days in a row.  So far we have been successful four days in a row.  Please double check with your child to see if s/he is prepared each day.  I want the first ten days to be a great success!

It is easy for me to communicate with you by email, and you are welcome to contact me that way.
My school account is:   jeanne.payne@ironmail.org

Please feel free to come visit with me about your child.  I want to know how I can best help
him/her succeed this year. 

Also, please send me a short reply, so that I know you received this.

Thanks,
Jeanne Payne
