Dear Families,

Welcome to a new school year!   Third grade is a very exciting year for your child!  This year your child will be learning many new concepts as well as further developing previous learning experiences.  I will do my best to make sure your child feels welcome and safe in his/her environment.

My goal in your child's education is to help him/her communicate effectively and foster a desire to learn in a safe environment.  I believe that every child can learn and it is my job to help your child become a knowledgeable, caring member of society.  Along with learning comes hard work.  Children need to be responsible and held accountable.  I believe that learning is work for the child, the parent(s), and the teacher cooperating together as a team.

Please plan on being a vital part of your child's third grade education.  They will need support in providing quiet time to complete unfinished work and assigned homework.  Most importantly, praise your child's efforts!

I look forward to meeting you and working together to make third grade a successful and fun year of learning for your child.  If you have any questions, please contact me at 734-744-2700 or feel free to email me atkzimplem@livoniapublicschools.org.  Thank you for your support
