Parent+Letter

Dear Parent,

Your student is pursuing a study of physics principles in the classroom and lab this year. This course requires daily work and long-term projects and will assist the student in preparing for course work in his/her post-secondary education. Daily preparation for this class is extremely important. It is a rare day when the students have no preparation work for the following day. Please, encourage your child to keep up with his/her work as the rewards and benefits are valuable. You may access a current calendar of events and follow our classroom work at []. Students who are struggling should __make an appointment__ for extra help right away. I also encourage students to study together, especially when reviewing for tests.

This year, we will also be piloting iPad use in the classroom. An iPad will be checked out to your student for the two semesters in which he/she is in physics. We will be using the iPads to access information necessary for class. We will also be using them as a presentation tool. It is our goal that students would be able to do all their readings, take notes, work collaboratively with other students and the teacher and even prepare their classroom presentations with nothing more than the iPad. Students will be required to pay a $25 technology fee for the use of this iPad for the two trimesters. This fee is payable in the high school office.

To keep you better informed of your child’s progress, I would appreciate the opportunity to communicate via email. Please, email your information to tcox@berlin.k12.wi.us or print out and fill out the contact form below and return it with your child by Wednesday, September 7.

Thank you, Tim Cox
