Dear Parents & Guardians,
I am so incredibly excited to be your child’s teacher and part of
the Duanesburg Elementary fifth grade team! I am looking forward to
getting to know each and every student and parent. With your support, I hope to
make this academic year a successful and fun-filled one.
I was born in Princetown,
New York and graduated from Schalmont High School. I pursed my undergraduate
and graduate degrees from the College of Saint Rose. I have taught many grades
and districts from Pre-K in Albany to High School English at Schalmont, but I
enjoy teaching fifth grade at DES the most. This will be my seventh year
teaching and am very happy I get to pursue my dream and passion daily.
My expectations for conduct and standards for academic
growth are high. Students will be given weekly homework assignments including
reading an independent reading book at home. Having a special time and place
for your child to work will help develop good study habits and organizational
skills. Double checking your child’s
work and assisting with difficulties will help to impress upon your child the
importance you place on his/her accomplished work. Your child will receive a student agenda
notebook to record daily assignments and things to remember, which can assist
you in this process. Any substantial
problems that are encountered at home should be brought to my immediate
attention, so that the material can be clarified or re-taught.
At this year’s Meet the Teacher Open House (Thursday,
September 17th at 7:10 PM) I will share more information about the school year,
as well as, your child’s expectations in the classroom. I hope that I will see you there! If you have any questions and/or concerns,
please do not hesitate to contact me at cstryjek@duanesburg.org. Thank you in
advance for your cooperation and support.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Christina A. Stryjek
