First Grade Parent Letter 7/10/09

July 10, 2009

Dear First Grade Parents,

 

I hope you are having a great summer!  I’m looking forward to a wonderful year of growth and learning.

 

As part of the Waldorf School philosophy, we visit all the families to see the children in their natural environment before the school year starts.  Please contact me to set up a visit that is convenient for you.  I look forward to seeing all of you later this summer! 

 

Our first parent evening will take place on the 15th of September.  You will have the chance to learn about and experience your child’s education and find out what is in store for the school year. 

 

Your involvement in the class is greatly needed.  In addition to a Class Parent/Coordinator and Class Representative, it is very important that the first grade is able to continue their exploration of the natural areas that surround us.  It is my goal to have a weekly afternoon outing, which will of course require some parent volunteering.  Woodworking, sewing, and general handiwork skills are also in need.  I will be posting a needs list on the First Grade section of the school’s webpage.  Feel free to let me know of your aptitudes and interests!

 

We will be having our First Grade Family Picnic at the end of August.  I’ll gauge from your input during the home visits which weekend will best suit everyone.  It will be a great time to socialize, get to know each other, and talk about your wishes and concerns for your children.

 

Please call if you have any questions and to set up a home visit.  I will be out of town from July 19th to the 26th.  I am looking forward to a wonderful year!

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Jesse Gammon
