MS. RENDER 4-3

Dear WPACES families and NEW 4th graders,
 
Welcome to 4th grade! I am so excited to be your teacher this year! My name is Ms. Render. Let me start by sharing a little about myself professionally and personally. This will be my 9th year in the classroom, and my classroom experience includes Kindergarten, 3rd, and 4th grades. I graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a bachelor's degree in Mass media arts, and then went on to join Teach for America in education. I have very high expectations for your child and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations. There will be lots of growth, learning, and explorations in our virtual classroom this year! Learning will be fun! Virtual Learning is new to us all, and as your child's teacher, I will be working hard behind the scenes to make this process as beneficial and smooth as possible. 
 
I believe that children learn best when the teacher and parents work together to achieve the same goals with a child. It is important to work together as a team and keep communication open between us to ensure that your child has a successful school year. look forward to an awesome, fun, and productive school year. Let’s work together to make this the best year ever!
 
Sincerely, 
 
Ms. Render
