To the Parents of
________________________________,
I am very pleased to
have your student in my Algebra I class this semester. I am looking forward to getting to know their
unique personality and learning style.
Your student should have brought home some information for you to look
over and sign. It contained the
classroom, behavior, and course expectations that will apply to your
student. Please bring any questions or
concerns you have to my attention.
We will be covering most
of the material in the book, and your student will receive assignment sheets
for every Chapter. Please be sure and
ask to see this so you will know where we are at and what they should be
working on each night. I also post the
assignments sheets on the Unity website (www.unityrockets.com). We will have homework every night except the
day before a test. Students are expected
to keep up on their assignments and do their homework every day. It would help if you could have an area at
home where they can work on homework.
Students will usually be
given some time in class to start on their homework and ask questions. If your student has difficulties with the
material, please encourage them to seek help immediately. Mathematics is a subject that can snowball
very quickly if concepts are missed along the way so it is important that they
not fall behind. I am available to
assist your student before school and after school.
I do not expect to have
any discipline problems in class, but if they occur I will explain to your
student their inappropriate behavior and try to resolve the problem with
them. If the problem continues, I may
need to contact you for your help.
Please support me if I should have to contact you because it is
important that your student follow the classroom expectations in order to
ensure the best learning opportunity for themselves and others.
Grades will be mailed to
you every midterm and quarter, however if you would like to inquire as to your
child's grade or progress in the course, please feel free to contact me by any
of the methods listed below.
Communication is essential. I am
looking forward to this school year and the privilege of teaching your child.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Seiler
