From now through the end of April, we will have the added expertise of two student teachers from Wayne State in each of our classes. Ms. Alsaiyad and Ms. Rahman are getting to know the students and will be teaching at various points during the day.

They introduced themselves to the students today and have sent a letter home introducing themselves to you as well. In case that letter doesn’t reach you, you may click on the links below to read them here.
