Mrs. M.E. James, Teacher
Dear Parents/Guardians:
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child back to Miracle Academy for another school year. For those who are new to our school community, I would like to extend a special welcome. I hope you have had an enjoyable and relaxing summer. The year ahead will be filled with many challenges, for you as parents, I as a teacher, and for the students.
It is my belief that we are working together as partners in the education of your child. As partners, we should both be fully aware of your child’s progress. During the school year, I will be sending work, assignments and periodic grades in progress home and ask that you sign as an acknowledgement that you have seen it.
You may contact me by email at Mary.James@miracleacademy.org.
