Hi Parents!

I am writing to say that I am enjoying your students in my Theatre 1 class.  They are really opening up, and I am excited to see all that they will achieve in this class.

Please read the information below.

1:  I have started a blog where students can visit to read and be reminded of assignments and upcoming events.  My goal is that I can get to a place where you as parents and students make a habit of visiting my blog regularly to stay updated on this type of information.  As a participation grade for your student, I am asking that they visit my blog, click on Theatre 1 on the right side of the page, click on comments at the bottom of the assignment box, and then leave a comment for me to show me that they have visited my blog.  I am asking that they post this comment by September 24.  My blog address is:
blogs.syracuseartsacademy.org/mburke

2:  Please take the time to write me a reply to this email so that I can verify that you are receiving my emails and are aware of all that has been included in this email.

3:  Our first parent/teacher conference days are approaching quickly.  They will be September 25 and 26.  Please contact me in advance if you would like to set up a time to meet with me as I must set up my schedule for those days in ahead of time.  I will notify you if there are any problems which need to be discussed in advance, however, I feel that everyone is doing a great job participating at this time.

If you have any questions about the above or anything else, please feel free to email me, call me, or even post a comment on my blog.

Thank you,

Melissa Burke
