Baby Stella is here!
November 16, 2018
Hello,
My name is Mrs. Smith, and I am the Long-term Substitute for Mrs. Dimitriou while she is at home with Stella. I am very excited to say that Stella entered the world on Wednesday evening, and weighed in at 7 pounds, 15 ounces and is 21 inches long! Mom and Baby are doing well, and expect to go home today.
I want to tell you alittle bit about myself. First of all, I am the mom of two adult sons, raised in Dearborn and attended Dearborn Public Schools. I have, probably, felt every emotion you feel sending your child off to school, and especially with a Sub Teacher. I have spent quite a bit of time in Mrs. Dimitriou’s class this year. I know your children, and I also know Mrs. Dimitriou’s expectations. My goal is to make this time as seamless as possible for your child, and to continue the progress they have already made. I have been a sub for 10 years now, and have taught children of all ages and abilities. I have Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. If you ever have a question, please feel free to ask. Like I said, I have been where you are with my own children. Any question will be handled with discretion and respect. I will be checking Mrs. Dimitriou’s email daily. If you have a question of a personal nature that you wish only Mrs. Dimitriou to address, simply put “Personal” in the subject line, and I will alert her to it. I will not be offended in any way.
Monday is the TumbleBus experience! Please dress your child in clothing appropriate for tumbling, including tennis shoes and no dresses on the girls. Mrs. Hamid will be escorting the children to the bus, and will be assisting them while I stay in the classroom. Thanks so much, Mrs. Hamid!
As the weather continues to get colder, please make sure you are sending winter jackets, hats, gloves and boots. We will go outside for recess most every day, weather permitting. Also, please remember that Kindergarten dismisses beginning at 3:30. After 3:40, I will close the door and walk the children to the office, per school rules.
I look forward to these next few weeks with your children, and I also look forward to meeting you and helping make Kindergarten a success.
Thank you,
Mrs. Smith
