Dear Family,
Welcome to first grade! My name is Mrs. Brownsey and I am excited to have your child in my class this year. I believe that communication is important. Therefore, I will call or write you with any concerns or questions I may have pertaining to your child. I welcome you to call or write me should you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at Chancellor Avenue School at (973) 399-6858. You may also email me at [email protected].
I believe that being prepared for school will help your child to do well. I am requesting that each child have 5 sharpened pencils each morning. This not only aids in saving time, but helps the children to remain on task.
The children will be responsible to write down the homework assignments everyday in their agendas. I will be checking to make certain they copy the assignments down and will initial the bottom. I am asking that you also check and initial after the assignments have been completed. I will explain the homework assignments and what I expect each day. I will not give homework on content we did not cover in class. The purpose of homework is to reinforce what was taught during the daily lessons.
I am aware that not all children are the same and that we all learn in different ways and at different paces. I will do my best to help your child so that they do not become discouraged or frustrated with school. I want each child to have a pleasant and positive school experience.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Brownsey
