Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to First Grade!!! My name is Alicia Parker and I am looking forward to having your child in my class this coming school year. First Grade is such a special year for both you and your child.  Our classroom is a safe environment, where children are encouraged to explore and grow academically. We all make mistakes, and a great deal can be learned from our mistakes and errors. You are absolutely welcome to contact me anytime via e-mail (aparker@frenchtownschool.org) about any concerns that you may have.

Some information about me:  I have a bachelor’s degree from The College of New Jersey in Information Technology, and a Master’s degree from New Jersey City University in Elementary Education. This will be my tenth year teaching First Grade and my 16^th year at Frenchtown.  

I am looking forward to an exciting ten months of getting to know your child.  If you have the time, please email me a note about what your child enjoys, and anything else you would like me to know.  This will allow me to get to know your child better for the upcoming year. If you have any questions during the year, please write me a note or email me at aparker@frenchtownschool.org.

Thank you,

Alicia Parker
