DEAR PARENT NAME:

My name is Abby Baker, and I am the English teacher of Student Name. I would like to take the opportunity to
introduce myself to you and communicate my goals for your student, my classroom, and our learning
environment. A little about me: I am originally from South Carolina but have lived in Arizona since 2004. I attended
Verrado High School, and graduated from Arizona State Universitys Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College with a
degree in English and a certificate in Secondary Education. I love to read, hike, and craft!
As a teacher, it is my job to prepare students for life beyond high school. I want to impart my passion for reading
and writing to my students through teaching how important mastering the English language will be in the postsecondary and professional lives of every student. By focusing on elements of responsibility, timeliness, respect,
and self-assuredness, I will ensure that each student realizes that English and professional success are mutually
dependent, and that every student feels more confident in their reading and writing abilities.
Over the course of the class, we will cover the topics of topic, topic, and topic, and read: book, book, book, book,
and book. All texts for this class will be provided by the school, and many of them will be available in several
formats (including physical copies, digital copies, and audio formats).
Please take some time to go over the attached syllabus with your student and complete the Parent
Acknowledgement and Information form to indicate your understanding of my classroom policies and procedures,
the learning environment expectations, and the curriculum overview.
If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to reach out to me via email, phone calls, and
face-to-face meetings. The office hours listed on my syllabus are times I am available to communicate with
parents and students alike. I look forward to having an open line of communication with you throughout the class.
I am so looking forward to a fun-filled class with your child as a participant! We are going to have a great time
learning about major skill and major skill this year. Thank you very much for your understanding and participation.
Respectfully,

ABBY BAKER
