Greetings Fourth Grade Parents & Guardians,

            Welcome to a new school year at Imagine Andrews!  We are very excited to be working with you and your child this year.  With a fulfilling year ahead and a lot to accomplish, we are eager to get started.  The fourth grade curriculum covers several exciting new topics and is filled with many challenging educational experiences.  We are passionate about learning and feel students learn best when their academic tasks are relevant and useful.  We will engage your child in meaningful learning experiences and creative hands-on activities that promote authentic learning.

            Fourth grade is a transitional school year.  It is the start of the intermediate grades that prepare students for middle school and beyond.   Therefore, we have very high expectations for our fourth grade Scholars.  We expect our Scholars to take initiative and responsibility for their own learning.  This requires focus, commitment, and a positive attitude.  We are confident these expectations will be met especially with teamwork and communication.  Let’s work together to ensure our Scholars reach their maximum potential this year!

            Student academic success requires a strong partnership between parents and teachers.  As partners, we share the responsibility for our Scholars success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry our responsibilities. We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

1.     Attends schools daily and arrives on time prepared for the day’s learning.

2.     Completes and returns all homework assignments on time.

3.     Reads daily to develop a love of reading and to improve literacy skills.

4.     Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life.

5.     Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject.

6.     Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school.

           

             We are truly excited for this school year and cannot wait to meet you!

Sincerely,

Michelle A. Carter                                                                    Erin Nauman
