About Me
Dear Parents/Guardians,
My name is Ms. Houston, and I have the pleasure of working with your child this year for their educational journey. I am very excited to begin my sixth year at Bon Lin Middle. In total, I have been teaching for 11 years. I look forward to the opportunity to get to know each of you and your child. A letter or email from you would help me get a head-start in learning about your child. What are your child’s interests? How does your child express himself/herself best—through art, speaking, writing, music, etc.? Are there any new special needs or concerns? These are just a few ideas of what your letter to me might include. Please feel free to write anything that you would feel would be important for me to know. Your child may receive homework. Please check your remind app and/or my website with updated statuses about projects and/or other classroom assignments. Homework assignments are meant to reinforce skills taught in class. They also serve as a practical way of letting you know what we are practicing in class. Please let me know via email if an assignment could not be completed for some reason. Attendance is vital to your child’s education. Please make sure that your child attends school regularly. |

I believe that communication between school and home is vital to your child’s functional success. Parental involvement makes critical contributions to student achievement from preschool through high school. Parent(s)/guardian(s) who encourage learning are more important to student achievement than income, educational level, or cultural background. When children and parents talk regularly about school, children perform better academically. Positive results of parental involvement include improved student achievement, reduced absenteeism, improved behavior, and restored confidence among parents in their children’s schooling. Communication between you and I assists me in understanding your educational goals for your child as well as his/her strengths and weaknesses. To better serve your child, I must be able to have efficient and effective communication with you. For these reasons, I request that we keep in close contact throughout the school year. I ask that you please do not hesitate to send an email or request a conference with me.
