		I am so excited for this school year to begin, and I know that we are going to have a wonderful year! Parents, if at any point this year you have a quick question or concerns about my class, feel free to call or send me an email. However, if you feel that we are going to need to sit down and have a conference, please let me know so that we can schedule a time that works for everyone. Students, what I want you to remember is that everyone knows what a tough time middle school can be. It can be hard to juggle school, friends, homework, and extra activities, but I am confident that you will have an amazing year. Keep in mind that I can't answer questions that you don't ask. My door is ALWAYS open to you if you have a question or if you just want to "talk." I look forward to everything that is in store at Cross Timbers this year!
