Dear Parents,

Just wanted to remind you that Friday March 27 will be my last day before going on maternity leave as I am due Monday March 30. When students return from spring break, Hilary Woodhams, will officially take over until the end of the year.  

Hilary Woodhams has been student teaching in a second grade classroom at Sunrise Drive Elementary and is familiar with our district's standards and expectations.  Hilary is currently working on a letter introducing herself and it will also provide you with her email address so that you can contact her with any concerns or questions.  This letter will be sent home at the end of this week or beginning of next week.  Although I will be on maternity leave, I will still be informed on what is happening in the classroom and take part in big decisions that are made such as behavior, academics, and preparing for 3rd grade.  Hilary will be left with daily lesson plans and will be working closely with Joceyln Dubs and Mike Allie for the last 7 weeks of school.  She has come in a few times and has met our class and is excited to start!

Thank you all so much for all of your support and understanding.  I have had such a great time working and getting to know each of my students this year and I'm sad that I will not be finishing the year with them as we have many fun and exciting projects to come!

Sincerely,

Laura Kupper
