Dear Parent or Guardian, Date: 9/1/16

My name is Kristen Houlihan. I am a preservice teacher/student

teacher completing my 4th year at the University of South Florida. This

semester, I have been given the opportunity to work in your childs

classroom as part of my teacher's education program.

I am very excited to be working with your child this semester, and I

would love to get to know you and your family better. While I have

completed several education classes and feel very capable as a teacher,

there is one thing my classes cannot make me an expert on, and that is

your child. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like to

share with me, or any information that you would like me to know about

your student, please email me at houlihan@mail.usf.edu.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with your student this

semester. It's going to be a great year!

Sincerely,
Ms. Houlihan
