Parent Letter Sample

Dear Parents and/or Guardians:

Beginning in August 20XX, a student teacher from XYZ University will begin her assignment with our class. I am looking forward to having Ms. Jane Doe with us. I have talked with the students at length about her time in our class and how we will treat Ms. Doe as a guest but also as an extension of me.

The student teacher plays a valuable role in the classroom. She will be observing and cooperating with me throughout the assignment. I will be present at all times to ensure your child's learning as well as to guide the student teacher as she is progressing. There will be many advantages of having Ms. Doe in the class. She will not only be providing me with an additional teacher to enhance instruction, but she will be bringing in new ideas to the class and will be providing me with an opportunity to team teach which only reinforces new and abstract concepts more concretely.

Also, your child will have more opportunities to meet one-on-one with a teacher to work on specific individual skills. In addition, there will be more times that we can work in small groups and develop areas of need with our students.

Please feel free to come by before or after school to introduce yourself and to get to know Ms. Doe. I hope you are as enthused as I am about having Ms. Doe with us.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at school or through e-mail.

Sincerely,

Ms. Teacher
