Dear Life School Parent or Guardian,
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! My name is Nicholas
Miller, and I will be your student’s 4th grade Reading and Social Studies
teacher. We are going to have a very successful and productive year as we
continue growing as scholars and as members of this community.
First things first, I’d like to tell you a little about
myself. I graduated from Texas A&M University
with a degree in Kinesiology. Over the past few years I have developed a passion
for working with young people, and I know the value and importance of a quality
education. I was referred to Life Schools through Teach for America (TFA), a
national organization that partners with school districts across the country to
recruit and place teachers in classrooms.
The classroom theme for this year is Going Places. When others talk about your son or
daughter I want them to say he or she is going places; in school and in life. I
have set high expectations for this year and will give students the necessary
skills and tools they need in order to reach those goals.
I believe every
student is capable of reaching their full potential. This is possible, but only
with our combined effort. I know your schedules may be busy, so I want to
extend myself out to you as much as possible. I do not believe my time with
your son or daughter is limited to traditional work hours. I am willing to meet
in mornings, evenings and even on the weekends. Please remember that I am
flexible and willing to work with you to meet your student’s needs.
That being said, I want to establish an open line of communication
with you. If there is anything you need, please feel free to text, call or
email. Information for remind 101 (a very important notification system) is
listed below.
If
your child is in my 1st period (homeroom), you need to text both
numbers.
