Welcome Back!

Dear Parents,

Wishing you and family a Happy New Year!

I am glad to have your child in the class. I am looking forward to getting to know you and your child, and to working in partnership with you to provide a good education for your child.

Parents play an important role in influencing the child’s ability to excel in his/her work. Therefore, parents’ supervision is vital in maximising his/her learning. I would like to seek your cooperation in ensuring that your child packs the school bag according to the class timetable daily and hands in homework on time. Written work must be acknowledged if parent’s signature is required. I would also appreciate it if you would keep in touch with me to exchange views on your child’s progress.

  

Thank you and looking forward to working with you in 2013.

Yours Sincerely,

Grace
