Dear Families,
It is our hope to help strengthen our network of family, school, and community. We want children to share and learn from the fund of knowledge that each family has to offer. During the course of the school year family members will be invited to share in scheduled school activities but are always welcome to join us at anytime.
Do you have a game to play, a story to read or a recipe to share? Do you have a pet to introduce? Do you play an instrument? Your jobs and hobbies are of interest to the children as well.
Your involvement can extend to off-site activities such as sharing family stories and photos for our Family Newsletter and favorite books and links for our Family Web site.
You will also be able to communicate with each other on the Family Exchange bulletin board.
Let’s all work to promote an environment of learning and sharing. This questionnaire will help us to incorporate the richness of your heritage and culture into ourcurriculum. Please take some time to answer the followingattached questionnaireand return to schoolASAP .
Sincerely,
Miss Hope,Miss Faith and Miss Myra
