Hello Parents,
My name is Lindsay Hartgraves and I will be student teaching in your students class this semester. I received my BA in English with a minor in Elementary Education from the University of Arizona. Now, I am a student in the Teach Arizona program, which is also part of the College of Education at the University of Arizona. This program has allowed me the pleasure of working with your child throughout the Fall Semester through daily interactions with the class such as team teaching and observation. Now that I will take responsibility for this class, I will be continuously observed by Mrs. Duron, and various supervisors from the University of Arizona. I am very excited to continue to be part of your childs last year of high school. I want him/her to learn as much as possible regarding English, as well as encourage your child to realize their future achievements after graduation. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please dont hesitate to contact me at Lmhartg@email.arizona.edu. Best Wishes, Lindsay Hartgraves
