	Mr. Tyler's House of Math! Parent Zone

Dear Parents,

It's school time again! I am very happy to have your child in my classroom. I believe that by all of us working together we can make this a very successful year. I consider it of prime importance that you be an active part of your child's education.

In addition to our four report cards and our conferences, I will keep you informed of your child’s progress by posting grades weekly onto K12 Planet as well as sending home an interim report midway through each 9 week grading period. Classroom assignments are posted on this website (in the Homework Central link) to help you follow the daily pacing and work load of our class. You are invited to email, phone, or visit me at school any time that you have a question concerning your child's progress. I am always available to meet or speak with you and typically can respond to you quicker via email. In return, I will contact you by telephone if there is something that I'd like to discuss. Please know that there are always extra opportunities for your child to receive extra help and tutoring. I am available any morning from 8:00-8:35 (let me know to ensure that I will be in my room), Wednesday afternoons from 4:00-6:00, Directed Study during school, or by appointment after school. I can also provide you with names for private tutoring.

It is important that you and your child be informed of my standards of classroom behavior so everyone knows what is expected. I have always found parents to be very supportive of good classroom behavior so their child has a good environment for maximum learning. I am attaching link to a copy of our classroom rules, as well as my own personal pledge to you and your child. If your child develops any difficulty conforming to the rules, I will notify you. As well, I hope that you will advise me if at any time your child has a problem, academic, social, or emotional. Should your child become discouraged or fearful about school, please communicate with me so that we can discover the cause of the problem.

I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child's teacher this year, and look forward to meeting each of you.

Sincerely,
Skip Tyler
