Getting To Know You

Dear Parent(s),

Welcome to another school year!  My name is Brian Pfaff and I will be your child's third grade teacher.  I am so excited to be working with you and your child this year.  I look forward to getting to know your child, and to the adventure we will have together this school year.

In my fourteen years of experience I have learned that good teaching begins with making your child feel at home in the classroom.  At SMES we want all of our students to come together as a learning community made of unique individuals, each with his or her own learning styles, interests, history and hopes.  Would you help us with this by taking a moment to write about your child?   What is your child like?   What are the things that you, as a parent, know would be important for us to know?   What are your child's interests?   We want to know how your child thinks and how you see your child as a learner and a person.  Please take a moment to write us and share your thoughts and insights.  You can mail this letter to me at school, send it to school with your child, or email it.  The mailing address is:

Brian Pfaff c/o Sexton Mountain Elementary

15645 SW Sexton Mountain Drive

Thank you for taking the time to do this!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call (503) 672-3560.  We look forward to working with you this year!

-Mr. Pfaff
