Friday Letter

February 19th-23rd

 

Dear Families,

Starting next week, February 26th, I will begin my lead teach in the classroom. Up until this point, Mrs. Mowery and I have been co-teaching with me gradually taking on more of the lessons. This will not be a huge change for your student as I am already teaching most lessons during the week. If you have any questions, need to change a pickup schedule or let us know that your child is sick, please contact me. I have included my phone number and email address at the bottom of this letter. I look forward to these next five weeks and the rest of the school year!

Best,

Ms. Gasior
