Dear
Parents,
Please
call or contact me with any questions or concerns. The quickest way to reach me
is by email. I will be glad to meet in person as well. Please call guidance to
set up a parent conference.
I look forward to working with my students and
helping all of my students achieve success. My goal is to enable them to do
their best and be thoroughly prepared to move onto their next Math class
whether here at WF or in college. I am
available to help before and after school with a little notice time. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Johanna
