Welcome to third grade! I am looking forward to getting to know your
child better as the school year progresses. I have been teaching for 20 years, most of
those years have been right here at Eastgate. I very much appreciate the
community here; staff, students, and parents. I work hard to create a classroom
environment where students aren’t afraid to take risks and make mistakes. After
all, mistakes are evidence of having tried. Outside the classroom, I enjoy
running. My favorite distance is the half marathon, but I have tried a few full
marathons, and will do so again. I have a large extended family in the
Netherlands, and love traveling there in the summers. My parents have a little
summer cottage where we stay when we visit our family and friends.
I believe that communication between parents and school staff is
critical to the academic success of children. To that end, I keep a classroom
blog, www.therotzreport.blogspot.com to keep families updated.
Please check the blog frequently for classroom updates.
The best way to reach me is
through email at rotzj@bsd405.org. If you need to speak with me in person, please contact me via email so
we can set up an appointment.
Snack time is in the
afternoon. (No snack on Wednesdays due to early dismissal) Due to the
district’s food policy modifications a few years ago as well as to the rise in
the number of students with allergies, I do not provide snacks. Additionally, the
third grade team has decided to dispense with birthday treats. We will
celebrate your child’s birthday with a special sticker and pencil and a song,
but not with food in keeping with the new policy.
Information concerning
homework, and conferences etc. will be available at Back to School Night on the 12th of this month. I hope to see you there.
It’s going to be a great year!
Thank you,
Miss Rotz
