Welcome Letter
Dear Parents,
My name is Mrs. Sterling and your son/daughter is enrolled in my math class this year. I am looking forward to an exciting year. It is my goal to provide all students with an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in my classroom.
Math is a very demanding course. There will be homework assignments daily. Each student will need a notebook, calculators, color pencils and #2 pencils. These materials should be brought to class every day.
I have high expectations of all my students and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations. I am asking for your help to maintain those expectations by checking with your son/daughter periodically to make sure that his/her work is being done. Your help and support will not only make your child more successful in school this year but will instill good study habits that will last a lifetime.
My motto is, “In order to understand the 21st century child, we must truly understand the 21st century children.” Meaning, learning environments aren’t revolutionized by installing a few cool gadgets here and there. It is my role as an educator in employing today’s technologies to make learning engaging to encourage students to create, communicate, and collaborate in ways never before possible. “Knowing how to use technology is a key requirement in truly understanding the 21st century child.”
Finally, I want you to know that one of my most important goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you. I am available every day to talk with you between 9:00-9:45 a.m. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 225-258-4640 or [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns during the year.
Sincerely,
Scherell Lumar-Sterling
