Dear Parents,

Welcome to fourth grade! I hope you have had an enjoyable summer with your family. I am looking forward to an exciting ten months getting to know your child. I will need your cooperation in order to make your child’s transition from home to school successful everyday. Please voice your concerns to me as soon as they come up. I will be sure to communicate mine with you. I would also like to know of any changes going on at home, which might affect your child’s behavior. A parent leaving on a business trip, illness, visiting relatives or a nightmare may show up in the classroom as tantrums, tears, excitement or sadness. I can best help your child adjust if I know why he or she is feeling out of sorts.

The best way to inform me would be a note. I urge you not to talk in front of your child or try to speak to me during the morning rush. If you need to speak to me in person, please schedule an appointment either before or after school. This way we can focus on the issue at hand.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Our partnership will go a long way in sending a positive message to your child. I have taken this opportunity to provide you with some important and helpful information. Please post it in a convenient location!

Sincerely,

Mr. Cunningham
