Dear Parent/Guardian,

My name is Mrs. Sheehan and I will be your child’s English III teacher t= his semester. As we begin the new= year, I would like to ask for your support and participation in helping your stud= ent achieve success in English III. Along with this letter, I have given your child a syllabus and a classroom management plan. Pl= ease review them with your child. = I am also listing a few suggestions that might make the coming school year more productive for you and your child.

= 1)&n= bsp; Make sure th= at your student has a quiet place to do homework, away from distractions such as television, radio, etc. They will be assigned homework nightly.<= /span>

= 2)&n= bsp; Ask your stu= dent or check to see that the daily assignment is completed and neatly organized= .

= 3)&n= bsp; Help your st= udent if he/she needs it. If you ca= nnot help with explanations, encourage your child to reread the pertinent sectio= ns, and most of all, encourage him/her to put forth their best effort.

If your son or daughter is experiencing difficulty, our National Honor Society= has a tutoring program which your child can make use of during his/her study hall. I am also available and willing to give your child one-on-one assistance. I can be very flexible. I firmly believe if the student, t= eacher, and parents work closely together for a better education, the possibilities= and results will be positive.

I look forward to meeting and working with your child. Please feel free to call me or e-m= ail me with any questions or concerns.
