Welcome to 4^th Grade!

Dear Parents,

Welcome to 4^th Grade!  I am looking forward to working with you as a partner in educating your child.  My goal is to facilitate learning in an exciting and fun way; to encourage your child to learn to the best of his or her ability.  As an educator, my goal is to see that your child becomes a life long learner.  Fourth grade is a prime starting point for students to become responsible and to be held accountable for their school work.  To help your child achieve this, it is essential that we work together to ensure that your child is working to his or her potential in a successful and meaningful way.  It is also imperative to recognize that childhood is a journey, not a race, and that all children learn at different rates and in different ways.  Keeping this in mind, we are certain to achieve success in educating your child.  I look forward to being your partner in this process over the course of the school year. 

Parent/guardian communication is a key factor to a student’s success.  If there are any comments, questions, or concerns which arise during the school year, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I welcome the opportunity to speak with you.  Please write a note, email me, or call anytime to set up a meeting time.  I look forward to spending this school year with you and your child!

Sincerely,

Jancey Marsh
