Dear Parents or Guardians,
I would like to welcome you and your child to the 2007-08
school year at Evergreen Elementary. My name is Denise Ohlson and
I
have been teaching since the 80’s. My experiences include
teaching
grades 1-6 in Snohomish School District. Being a teacher is my
chosen
profession and being an educator has been a very
rewarding
experience for me. In our classroom I believe a student’s
needs come
first. Their academic growth and positive well being are my focus
each
year. It is my ongoing professional goal to be the best
teacher I can
be for your child, by following state standards, and focusing
on
successes, not failures. My classroom expectations are
explained
below.
BEHAVIORAL
EXPECTATIONS
Your child is expected to:
1)
Be respectful of the rights and
property of
themselves and others, in the classroom, on the bus,
in the halls or on the playground.
2)
Choose behaviors that are safe to
themselves and
others.
3)
Be responsible for completing
assignments on time.
4)
Pay attention to lessons and
assignments, and not
prevent another student from learning or the instructor from
teaching.
5)
Attend school on a regular basis, and
arrive on time.
6)
Come to school dressed in acceptable
school attire
according to the Student Handbook.
I expect that all students give their best attitudes and
efforts
towards learning. I will exercise flexibility and sensitivity
towards
individual strengths and weaknesses in a student’s learning
styles and
abilities. I strongly believe that all students have the ability to
learn
in different capacities, and adjust my instruction
accordingly.
I look forward to meeting each of you at Open House on
September 20th @ 6:30. We can discuss curriculum and
other
opportunities to invite you in to school! Your son or daughter
would
love to see you here.
Warmly,
Mrs.
Denise Ohlson
Watch as your teacher learns how to build a class website this
year!
