Letter to Parents

Welcome to what promises to be an incredible year at Highland Park Middle School!

I hope this letter finds you well and filled with anticipation for the upcoming school year at HP. My name is Ned Smith, and I am excited to introduce myself as your child’s 7th mathematics teacher.

I’m passionate about fostering a love for learning and guiding them through the wonders of education. Together, we’ll embark on a remarkable journey of exploration, growth, and development. Education, to me, encompasses not only acquiring knowledge but also nurturing curiosity, critical thinking, and compassion.

I can’t wait to get to know each of my students as unique individuals, with their own remarkable talents, interests, and aspirations. Let’s embrace challenges, celebrate triumphs, and work collaboratively to make this academic year one of tremendous growth, outstanding achievements, and unforgettable memories. Together, we’ll cultivate a vibrant and inspiring classroom where knowledge and creativity flourish.

By encouraging students to apply mathematical concepts to real-life situations, think scientifically, and engage in inquiry-based learning, I aim to develop their critical thinking skills and foster a lifelong love for math and science.

Effective communication between home and school is crucial to your child’s academic success. I encourage you to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or insights you may have throughout the school year. I firmly believe that parents and teachers are partners in the educational journey, and together, we can provide the best support for your child’s growth and development.

Regular updates on your child’s progress will be shared with you via google classroom. I am committed to providing detailed feedback on assignments and assessments. I look forward to parent-teacher conferences, where we can discuss your child’s achievements, areas for improvement, and set meaningful goals together.

I am truly excited to have the opportunity to teach your child and watch them grow academically and personally throughout the school year. With your support and our shared commitment to education, your child will have a successful and fulfilling experience in my class.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via email or phone if you have any questions or concerns. I am here to support you and your child in any way I can. Let’s make this a memorable and transformative year for your child’s educational journey.

Sincerely,

Ned Smith
