Welcome Back Letter 2023-2024
September 7, 2023
Dear Families,
Welcome to Kindergarten! My name is Mrs. Alyssa Monaco. I am your child’s Kindergarten teacher at Greenville School. I am looking forward to building a positive relationship with you and your child this year!
Kindergarten is an important year for your child to advance academically and socially. Your child will accomplish a great deal by the end of the year!
In the beginning of the year, we will focus on classroom rules and routines, making good choices, proper hygiene, and getting to know our new classmates.
Together we will build a strong classroom community with a focus on creating a safe learning environment through kindness, respect, and a sense of belonging.
After you have reviewed the following information, please sign the last page and return it to school.
If you have any concerns or questions during the school year, please contact me.
(732) 202-1745 ext. 5102
I hope to see you on Back-to-School Night!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Monaco
