Dear Students and Families,

I am excited to part of the First Grade family at Crescent Harbor Elementary this year! Growing up on Whidbey Island, I learned early that we live in a very supportive and collaborative community. I look forward to getting to know all of you this year!

My goal is to create a positive, safe, and supportive environment for my first graders. With my passion for teaching and learning, I hope to instill a love of learning and wonder in each student. I will do my best to inspire and lead them to academic and personal success.

I believe that the relationship between families and the teacher is necessary in student learning and achievement. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you to support your child in the best way possible.

I will be communicating with you through newsletters, emails, telephone calls, report cards, and parent-teacher conferences. Please feel free to call, email, or send notes to communicate any questions or concerns you may have.

I look forward to meeting and working with you all! Welcome to First Grade!

Sincerely,
