AzMERIT Assessments
I just wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you
for sending your child to school on time during the testing window.
I am happy to announce that my wonderful 22 students have
completed all 3 assessments! I would not have met my goal without
your support. You are all amazing. Your child gave it his/her all on
the assessments. Your messages of encouragement and support
meant a lot to them. I have planned a reward for my students that
will take place next Friday, April 15th. More details to follow.

I have the BEST parents in the Whole Wide World!

Thank you!

Hello Parents,
My name is Awa Chibasa. I am currently a
student teacher from the U of A. I have been in your
childs classroom everyday since February. Starting
Monday, April 11th, I will be taking over the classroom
for the majority, if not all, of the day. I would like you to
know that I will be utilizing my skills and knowledge
gained through my coursework, as well as my
observations of the classroom. I am ready to teach, learn
and grow with your child for the next 4 weeks. If you
need to get in contact with me, you may contact Mrs.
Rubio via e-mail and I will receive your
correspondence and respond in a timely manner.
Thank you for allowing me to work with your
child and gain skills and knowledge that will be useful
to me as I pursue my teaching career after this semester.
Sincerely,
Miss Chibasa
