Dear Parents and Guardians,
It is with pleasure that I welcome your child to my class! I am originally from northern Ohio; however, I have lived in North Carolina for the past 27 years. I am married to Eric and we have two sons. Collin graduated from Appalachian State in 2018 and is teaching special education in Georgia and Devin graduated from UNC Charlotte’s engineering program in 2014 and was married this past summer! We also adopted a new rescue dog this summer named Sophie. She is a huskey/shephard mix and she is going to school, too, for training and manners. I have been at Vandora Springs Elementary School for 16 years and I consider it my second home/family. I believe that a positive learning experience is built on a cooperative effort between home and school and I look forward to working with you for your child’s benefit. I will need your support for the homework assignments, academic goals, and our online behavior plan (Class Dojo) that I have set for the students. More information about connecting to Class Dojo will be shared at our Back to School Bash on Thursday, August 22nd from 3-6 pm. I hope you can come! Finally, please help your child prepare for the first day of school by obtaining the necessary supplies listed. I will keep you informed of your child’s progress this year and I hope you will feel free to contact me with questions or concerns at [email protected]. I look forward to an exciting 2019-2020 school year and meeting you soon! Sincerely, Mrs. Marla Martin Room #2605 |
