 Author: Sandra Looper
 TEACHER'S NOTE: Here are a couple of examples of back to school
items to send to parents:
 My Pledge to Students (adapted from friend, used with her permission)
 The following is a list of goals that I have set for myself this year. I will
make every effort to live up to these goals:
 1) I will greet students each morning with a smile, and will be generous
with my smiles throughout the day.
 2) I will look for opportunities to reward and praise students for their
work and good behavior.
 3) I will not show favoritism, and will try to be fair to all.
 4) I will use fair and appropriate methods of discipline.
 5) I will try to make classroom instruction as interesting as possible and
look for new and diverse ways of presenting materials.
 6) I will maintain a positive atmosphere for learning.
 7) I will treat my students with respect and will not embarrass them in
front of their classmates.
 8) I will make myself available and approachable to students.
 9) I will recognize the individuality of my students and will provide
opportunities for each of them to experience success. I pledge to work
forward making this a very successful year for us all.
 Letter To Parents
 Dear Parents, It's school time again! I am very happy to have your child
in my classroom. I believe that by all of us working together we can
make this a very successful year. I consider it of prime importance that
you be an active part of your child's education.
 You are invited to phone me or visit the school any time that you have a
question concerning your child's progress. I will keep you informed by
sending home a weekly sampling of your child's work, as well as a
progress report during the 5th week of each 9 week grading period. If
you have expertise in a specific field, an unusual hobby, or have a
different culture that you would like to share, please let me know. I
would be happy to visit with you about the possibility of your sharing
with our class.
 It is important that you and your child be informed of my standards of
classroom behavior so everyone knows what is expected. I have always
found parents to be very supportive of good classroom behavior so their
child has a good environment for maximum learning. I am attaching a
copy of our classroom rules, as well as my own personal pledge to you
and your child. If your child develops any difficulty conforming to the
rules, I will notify you. As well, I hope that you will advise me if at any
time your child has a problem, academic, social, or emotional. Should
your child become discouraged or fearful about school, please
communicate with me so that we can discover the cause of the problem.
 I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to be your child's
teacher this year, and look forward to meeting each of you.
 Sincerely,

 Classroom Rules
 Author: Kaye W Millard


 TEACHER'S NOTE: My class rule is a pledge:


 I will do nothing to interfere with the
learning, safety, or respect
 of myself or others.

 First the kids brainstorm classroom rules then
we organize them

their rules

to display the pledge.
 It stays up all year.

 EDITOR'S NOTE: Someone mentioned rephrasing
the pledge to give it a
 more positive spin.

 It went something like -- I will do everything I
can to promote the
 learning, saftey and respect of myself and
others.

of each. They loved my
