Back To School Documents Dump

Apparently there’s this thing in politics and government and business called a document dump.  And you use it when you want to put a bunch of information out without drawing attention!  So, by popular demand, I’m doing a back to school documents dump!   I get lots of requests for my notes and letters that I send home so I wanted to share those with you!

These documents used to go home on Meet The Teacher Night or on the first day of school.  Last year, when we learned we were starting the year virtually, I wanted to connect with my studetns and families immediately because of the challenges I knew were coming.  I decided to mail a welcome packet, inlcuding photographs, so they had as much information, and a way to contact me, as soon as possible.  This really made an impact because we had formed relationships before the year started!  The photographs were included becuase I wanted the kids to know my face before we had to pop on a screen together.  I included a photograph of my family so they could get to know all of me!

These are PDF files and are not editable.  They are only being offered as a guide or resource.

The following documents go in the welcome packet:

No Tables No Desks/Flexible Seating Letter

There are two different notes included in this file:  one is for no tables/desks and one is for flexible seating!
