Parent Homework

Dear Families,

    No one knows your child better than you.  As a parent or guardian, your perception of my student is a valuable resource.  The more I know and understand about your child, the more effective I can be as a teacher.  Your insight will be extremely helpful to me in becoming better acquainted with your child as an individual.

     I would appreciate your participation in a “parent homework assignment” that will be of great value to me.  Sometime in the next week or two, please write me a letter introducing your child.  

     You might want to include a brief biography, problem areas, special abilities, fears, strengths, weaknesses, and past school experiences.  You might also want to tell me about your expectations for this school year:  from me, your child, and the school.  These are just suggestions.  Feel free to include any information you want me to keep in mind while I work with your child.

     I am looking forward to reading your letter and will respond to any issues and/or concerns during parent-teacher conferences in November.  Thank you for taking part in this important assignment.  You may send the letter in a sealed envelope to school with your child or email it to me at khnguyen@fusdk12.net.  (Don’t forget to include the “h,” so that your letter will not be misdirected.)  Please write “Parent Homework” in the subject line.  All letters will be kept confidential.
