Welcome
to Ms Rolfe's
Grade 4/5 Class
Welcome
to a very exciting and eventful year in your child’s education.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, Ms
K Rolfe as your child’s Grade Four or Five teacher.
It
is my hope to initiate and maintain an open line of communication
with you and your child throughout the school year. I will be
asking for your support and feedback on an ongoing basis. Throughout
the year I will be using your child’s student agenda as
a communication log and encourage you to do the same. It is important
that we work together in helping each student to ensure a successful
and happy year.
If at any point in the year, your job or field of expertise could
compliment the curriculum, please let me know. Parent guest speakers
are always welcome. It can be a wonderful learning experience
for both students and teachers!
