Dear Parents and Guardians,

 I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Ashley Szkoda and I am so excited to be your child’s 8^th grade learning support teacher.

 This is my third year at East Middle School. Before my time at East I had experience working in fourth grade and preschool. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education from Westminster College. I am certified in Early Childhood Pre-K – 4^th grade and Special Education K-8^th grade.

 Throughout the year, I feel it is important to have a strong parent teacher relationship. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please contact by phone or email. Also please check the school’s website often for important updates.

 I am thrilled to be able to work with your child this year and I look forward to watching them learn and grown and enjoy their last year here at East Middle School.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Szkoda
