Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to another exciting
year at Pleasantville Public School! My name is Jasmin
Kwak
and I have the pleasure of teaching your child for the 2015 – 2016
school year.
This year,
your child will have Ms. Neumann for Health and Physical Education, Ms. Mangat for music,
and Ms. Bekiaris for Drama and Dance class. I will
teach all other subjects in room 141. All
of your child’s teachers will be working together to ensure your child has a
successful year.
I am
counting on parental support to help your child adjust to their new grade. The
single most important tool available to your child to ensure success is the agenda. I believe in a strong partnership between the student, their
parents and the school. To help keep you
informed, I would appreciate if you could please review and sign the agenda nightly. Also, on most Fridays, students will bring
home a “Go Home” folder that will
contain any returned work, notes from teachers and self-evaluation sheets. Returning the folder each week and signing
the agenda will ensure that you are kept up to date on your child’s progress
and successes. You can also access our
class website at http://gr3kwak.blogspot.ca for
information and important deadlines.
Our class
is scheduled for gym every Day 4 and Day 5. It is
essential that all children wear appropriate clothes and footwear in order to participate fully in the gym
program. To prepare for the winter weather,
please ensure that your child brings indoor
shoes everyday. In addition, I will provide school supplies, such as pencils,
erasers, duo tangs, and etc. Binders
and dividers are optional but highly
recommended to help organize your child’s schoolwork.
If you have any books or any
type of games (i.e. board games, card games.. appropriate for grade 3 students) that students can
enjoy during an indoor recess period at home that you wish to donate to our
classroom library, it will be so helpful for our students.
Thank you
in advance for your support in establishing a strong start to the 2015 school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please
do not hesitate to contact me through your child’s agenda or by voice-mail at
905-884-7431,
extension 141.
We are
still a growing school and your child has the unique opportunity to make
meaningful and lasting contributions to the school culture. I’m looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely,
Ms. Kwak
