Back-To-School Night Parent's Letter

Melanie Taylor, M. A.

English Literature, Language and Composition

August 10, 2018

Dear Parents/Guardians, Family, and Students,

  How exciting! We have a new school year and I am so pleased

to be included in the educational process here at

Victor Valley Christian School, and in a subject I really love.

We have a busy year planned to develop powerful writing skills, to

increase digital knowledge and confidence, and, best of all, to experience

great literature to love and appreciate for a lifetime.

This is a solid college prep program.

 We will participate with Google Classroom, as well as use my regularly

updated classroom website:  MzT’s Classroom https://www.mzteachuh.com/  

There is a matching blog, too, with pertinent information about our English program

that is also regularly updated-- MzT’s Classroom https://mztsclass.blogspot.com/  

These online resources post nothing personal about the students, but general

information about the English program, homework, and activities. If you want more

information on Reading Teams, Book Club, Writer’s Workshop, Station Rotation,

or what to study for the next test, check the website or blog.

 Courtesy and full focus on our work are the hallmarks of our classroom.

We can collaborate on classwork, discuss grading and behavior, and be

assured we have open communication and mutual support. Our class syllabus

has details about grading, classroom rules and routines, reading lists, and

needed materials. This syllabus is also online at the Mzt’s Classroom site,

and blog.

 Please communicate with me through Google Classroom, or email

Melanie Taylor mtaylor@vvcs.org, the School Office 760-241-8827,

and when I get my new smartphone, I will give you a number you can call or text.

I don’t respond during class, if you have an emergency, call the Front Office

760-241-8827. My goal is to get back to you within a day. My Office hours are

Tuesday and Thursday  3:00-4:00 p.m.. I am generally on the run, so if you wish

to speak to me in person or have a conference, please schedule one.

I don’t want to miss you!

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

Numbers 6:24-26

Sincerely,

Melanie Taylor, M.A.
