Dear Parents,
My name is Beth Stockham, and I am excited to be your child’s teacher this school year! This is my 28th year to teach, and my top priority is to provide your child with a safe, caring, enjoyable, and high quality-learning environment at school.
I look forward to working with you to ensure that your child’s educational needs are met each day.
Please know that I welcome and encourage your involvement in your child’s education at Great Oaks Elementary. You may have questions or concerns about your kindergartener from time to time. You can reach me daily at school by calling my voice mail, 464-6869. I will get back to you as soon as possible.*Ü* You can also email me at anytime at [email protected] . I will make every effort to work with you to promote your child’s success at school while acting in his or her best educational interest.
By working together, I am confident we will experience a truly exceptional school year.
Please call the school office (464-6850) if your call is in reference to your child’s changing departure from school. (Because of our busy day, I sometimes cannot check my messages until after school.)
Please check your child’s backpack daily to see if there are any notes from the office or me. I will be sending a folder home daily. Please remove the papers, initial the box for behavior and return the folder the next day. If you need to send me a note, please clip it inside the folder. This seems to lessen phone calls and that long walk up the hallway in the morning to see me.
I like to communicate frequently, so you can look forward to many emails updating you on things happening in our classroom.
You can go to my teacher web which will update you on upcoming activities, and specific skills that we are learning in class.
Please send in 2 nutritious snacks each day with your child. A water bottle is welcome. Sincerely,
Beth Stockham *Ü*
***P.S. Please label backpacks, lunch kits, sweaters, jackets, coats, umbrella’s etc. with your child’s first and last name! Label, Label, Label!
