Dear Parents/Guardians,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Kimberly Nuñez. I have had the good fortune of teaching for the Irvington Public Schools for the last 24 years. I will be working with your child(ren) as their Special Education English Language Arts (ELA) Inclusion Teacher. I will work collaboratively with their classroom ELA teacher to provide a more individualized learning experience through the use of small-group instruction. I am eager to get to know all of your children and share this school year with them.
Over the past 24 years, I have come to realize the profound impact that teachers can have on the lives of their students. As students enter school, they are turned over to the care of their teacher for nearly seven hours a day. I have set goals for myself to ensure that your child has an academically enriching, fun-filled, and exciting learning experience. I have attached a copy of my goals in a document titled 'My Pledge to My Students.' I will review them with your child(ren) in class and will strive to meet them daily.
I take pride in building strong rapport with my parents and students. I have always been a strong advocate of open and frequent communication. This letter will serve as a basis for a great deal of dialogue and communication between us. I have enclosed your invitation to join my Class Dojo online community. Through this community, you can stay in contact with me daily, send me private messages, view the exciting happenings within our lessons, and receive important flyers and reminders. You don’t have to worry because I can assure you that I will remain in constant contact.
In addition to Class Dojo, I will be including your invitation to join my Google Classroom. This will allow you to receive a weekly summary of your child(ren )'s class participation, missing or late assignments. I also have a fully functioning interactive website. It includes enrichment sites/games for your child to use at home, at your leisure, to support what we are doing in class. Log-on instructions will also be attached. It will be updated frequently as we cover more materials in class. Activities will range from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. You can also email me if needed. My email address is [email protected]. I am here to assist you. Please don’t hesitate to email me or send me a message via Class Dojo at any time. I check them both multiple times per day and will always get back to you.
Please take a few minutes to complete the enclosed survey. The questions are designed to help me get to know your child. The more I know about them as an individual, the better I can effectively meet his/her needs in my classroom.
This will be an exciting year! My goal is to make this school year the best it can be for each of my students. I look forward to meeting all of you at Back-to-School Night. That date and time will be forthcoming. Thank you in advance for your support. I could not do my job without you!
Sincerely,
Kimberly Nunez
