Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year at Summerville High School. I hope each of you had a terrific summer. I am looking forward to working with you and your student this year. I know that this year will be a great one, filled with a wide variety of learning experiences for your student. As a teacher, I emphasize academic as well as non-academic skills to prepare your student for a career or higher education. These are very important years for the students and I will do my best to encourage attitudes and behaviors that promote citizenship and cooperation, foster the development of higher-order thinking skills, and ensure that each student has an opportunity to learn in a manner that suits their individual abilities, needs, and interests. I have set high standards for our classroom. All academic disciplines require the examination of sometimes sensitive topics, events, or ideas. Consequently, I expect each student to be considerate of diverse interpretations, beliefs, and opinions. In addition, this course requires that students develop academic and social skills that may be unfamiliar or difficult to acquire. Therefore, it is important that students follow a simple set of classroom rules based on the concept of respect. To maximize our achievement in this course, students must respect their peers, the teacher, and themselves by demonstrating kindness, coming to class with a positive attitude towards learning, and by consistently working to better themselves academically and socially. Additional course information is posted at my class website at mrbrullsclass.weebly.com. Being that you are an integral part of your student’s education, I welcome your comments and inquiries. Please feel free to contact me at school by calling the office at 209-928-428 during school hours. I am also be available before and after school; my email address is [email protected]. Please review the course syllabus, sign and detach the “Acknowledgement” portion, and direct your student to return the slip of paper the following school day. Thank you in advance for your support. By working together we can make this a wonderful year! Sincerely, Jordan Brull Social Studies Teacher, Summerville High School 209-928-4228 ext. 270 [email protected]
