To the Parents of
________________________________,
I am very pleased to
have your student in my Physics 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. Please be
sure and ask your student questions about their homework and labs. Students are expected to keep up on their
assignments and do their homework everyday.
It would help if you could have an area at home where they can work on
homework.
Students will usually be
given some class time to start on their homework and ask questions. If your student has difficulties with the
material, please encourage them to seek help immediately. Physics is a subject that can prove very
challenging. I am available to assist
your student before school and after school.
Please encourage them to come in for assistance.
Students will also have
at least one project to complete each quarter.
These projects will involve designing and testing various
apparatus. While the theory and
principles behind their projects will be discussed in class, the majority of
the work will take place outside the classroom.
You may want to periodically ask them about their current project.
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
