An "Assignment" for our new 8th Grade Parents

The Million-Word Assignment

A Homework Assignment for Parents in the King House



Dear Parents,
         You may be thinking, “What?  I thought homework was just for kids!”  Soon, your child will be working hard on homework assignments, but fair is fair, and so to share in the back-to-school spirit, the house leaders have put together a little assignment for you.
As we begin the school year, each of us is committed to forming a positive relationship with your son or daughter.  One of our first tasks is to get to know your child and how he or she learns best. 
         We would like to give you an opportunity to share any information about your daughter or son, which may be helpful to us as we work with your child.  Please write us a letter, which tells us what you think we should know about your child (it doesn’t really have to be a million words!).
         Don’t worry, this assignment is not graded; your child will not be penalized in any way if you do not send in this writing assignment.  However, we hope you will choose to complete this for us.
         Please email the letter as an attachment to your child’s house leader. You may also write or type it up and seal your letter in an envelope and send into school as soon as you can.  We hope to have the letters as soon as possible, but welcome them whenever you are able to get them to us.  Below are listed the email addresses of the 8th grade house leaders.
         Thanks for your help and we look forward to hearing from you.

                                                                    Sincerely,
