Parent Connections


While being at Mount Vernon, I have had a lot of parent communication through emails and some in person communication as well. I have sent a handful of emails with the help of my CT about concerns we have seen with students along with making sure their work is getting done over the weekend. I have had mostly positive responses from the parents which have been a bonus and one no so positive but we got things fixed after the fact. With communication in person I have had the chance to meet some parents that brought things in for the students speeches which was nice just to introduce myself along with sitting in on an IEP meeting that allowed me to meet a parents and listen to her thoughts and praises for her daughter.

I saw the impact that he had on my community and I wanted to make that kind of impact also by following in his and my uncles footsteps. I have 3 other teachers in my family  including my uncle, cousin and sister which is something that I have always been very proud of because of the impact I know we are making/going to make for students.  I hope to leave the legacy of being the teacher that made sure my students felt welcomed and knew that they can come to me for problems in school and if they need a listening ear. I want to have a welcoming environment for my students. I know I will need to have an open mindset going into the school year since I have not been in this position of full teaching like this and know that this is a different...
