Welcome Back Letter!
Welcome back to a new and exciting year at Haigh Elementary School! We look forward to another year of working together for the academic and social success of your student! My name is Miss Kibilko and I will be your child’s teacher this year. I am looking forward to this year with all the “newness” taking place 🙂 It is a year of growth and learning for us all! We will be working closely together, via online! Our platform is going to be schoology. More information to come on that next week. I know you have many questions and I will do my best to answer your questions. I am listing some important information below. Please contact me if you cannot come by to pick up materials during the listed days and times. I will work with you to get your child’s learning materials to them! Please remember to breathe deeply, know I’m here for you, and we will be OK 🙂
Be Well
Miss Kibilko
