Dear «Title» «LastName»,

Parent Conferences are October14, 2003. Please call and schedule a meeting with each of the teachers.

I am Mrs. Wendy Gore. I run the Freshmen Focus Program and teach freshmen math. I look forward to working with your student this year. Each Freshmen Focus teachers has one day a week that he or she will be available for after school tutoring; in addition, these same teachers are usually available several other days as well. We will be sending progress reports home every month. It is our desire to see your student adjust to life at Sherman, a high school routine, and progress toward graduation. We ask that you support your student and us by encouraging the maintenance of grades of “C” or better. This will help ensures that your student passes all his classes and earns the credits necessary to become a sophomore.

«studetfirstname» has me for one of three classes. He will be learning Basic Math, Pre- Algebra, or Algebra 1 with me this year (or semester.) I look forward to a successful and productive year.

«studetfirstname» has been preparing for parent conferences and is excited to have you here. As a parent of a Freshmen Focus student we have some special events planned for you. Enclosed you will find a flyer for one of our events. The Freshmen Focus Team hopes to meet you during this exciting and informative weekend.

Sincerely,

Wendy L. Gore Freshmen Focus Chair and Mathematics Teacher
