Happy New Year!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I want to extend to you and your child my warmest welcome as we enter a new and exciting year in 2014. My name is Tayler Cameron and I am thrilled to be your child’s teacher for the remainder of the school year. I feel very lucky to be joining such a passionate and committed school community. I have a passion for literacy and providing students with the tools to become more independent readers.  

Communication

Communication between home and school is essential to a successful school year.
Two main tools for daily communication between home and school include your child’s agenda and our classroom blog.

• Writing in our agendas will continue to be a main tool for communication between home and school. Your child will write a daily message or reminder. Please check your child’s agenda and sign under each agenda message to let me know you have received the important messages that were sent home. I will also be checking the agendas each day for messages or notes from parents. Notes from school will be sent home in the front pocket of your child’s agenda.

• Another important communication tool is our classroom blog. This blog will act as a virtual window into our classroom. This is a great way to stay connected and share what we have been doing in our classroom with your family. Please note there is a new class blog address. You can access our blog at http://ready-set-grow-3.blogspot.ca or from the Gladys McDonald home page, using the “classroom” link.  The blog will be updated at the end of each school week. Please visit the classroom blog regularly for weekly updates, pictures, reminders, upcoming events and helpful resources.

Our classroom is always open to your input and suggestions. If you have any questions/concerns, or would like to discuss your child’s progress with me, please do not hesitate to call 791-8500, email (Tayler.Cameron@rbe.sk.ca), stop by our classroom, or write a note in your child’s agenda.

I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child’s teacher. I look forward to getting to know both you and your child.

Sincerely,

Ms. Cameron
