Letter to ninth grade parents

20 August 2012

Dear Parents and Guardians:

I would like to welcome you and your child to 9th grade at OCSI. I am looking forward both to continuing to develop relationships with continuing students and families and also to welcoming some new faces.

Your child will be starting the school year studying John in Bible class. We will be reading and discussing the fourth gospel, learning about the life of Jesus as recorded by one of his closest disciples. Class activities will include scripture reading and analysis, drawing comparisons to the Old Testament, and memorization of Bible verses.

Education is maximized when the school and parents work together to help students succeed, so I hope that you will support this effort. Towards that goal, please take some time to look over the syllabus and the policies and procedure sheets that your child has received, and to fill out and sign the information sheet. Also, in order to keep track of your child’s assignments and class schedule, feel free to refer to my blog site, where homework assignments and other relevant materials will be posted weekly:

You are invited to attend Open House on Friday, August 24, 2012. This will be an informal meeting designed for parents to meet each other and teachers.

Please feel free to contact me anytime you have a question or concern.

 Yours Truly,

 Amber Fontenot
