Dear Parents, My name is Mr. Lewis and your child is enrolled in my seventh grade science class this year. I am looking forward to an exciting and productive year. It is my goal to provide all students with an educationally challenging, yet fun, experience in my classroom. Science is a very demanding course. We will cover the items listed in the attached course outline. There will be homework assignments daily. Additionally, each student will need the items listed in the supplies list written in his/her notebook. Please sign the list to indicate that you have seen it. These materials should be brought to class every day. I have also included a probationary contract and a list of the class rules and laws. Please read both and sign the contract. I created the contract, rules and laws to ensure that both the students and their parents understand how this course will run. If you have any questions, please contact me. Please consult my wikispace (Jlewis144.wikispaces.com) page for additional information. I have extremely high expectations for all my students, and for that I will not apologize. I will contact you if there any academic or behavioral issues regarding your child. I am asking for your help to maintain those expectations by checking with your son/daughter periodically to make sure that his/her work is being done. You can also check the homework assignments on wikispace (Jlewis144.wikispaces.com) and track your child’s progress on teacherease. I am available to help students individually before school, during my prep periods, and after school. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 718-379-7400 or Jlewis6@schools.nyc., if you have any questions or concerns during the year.

Regards,

James N. Lewis
