Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year!  My name is Bonnie Ezell, and I am so excited to be able to share this school year with you and your child.  I will attempt to teach your child all of the Kindergarten skills needed to be successful in first grade.  Most of all, I hope to encourage your child to love school.

I, too, am a parent.  I have two daughters, one who graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University and one who is also a school teacher. This will be my 24^th year to teach.  I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education and also a Master of Educational Leadership from Southeastern Louisiana University. 

Please check your child’s homework folder daily for correspondence, discipline notes, and to review all of the concepts introduced at school.   Your interest in his/her achievements at school is the KEY to instilling a love for learning.   

I firmly believe that life-long success depends on self-discipline.  I have a Classroom Discipline Plan that affords every student the opportunity to manage his/her own behavior. Your child deserves the most positive educational climate possible for academic growth. Therefore, this plan will be implemented in our classroom.  The students are aware of the consequences for their actions.   

Having your support in my classroom is very important to me. I believe that positive interaction between the teacher and parents strengthens the feeling of support that all children need for success in school.  Feel free to contact me at any time by sending a note to school with your child.  I will respond immediately to your concerns.  You may also reach me by email at bonnie.ezell@tangischools.org  

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to work with your precious child this year. This is an incredible group of children and I am so excited to help mold them into great little students.

Sincerely,

Bonnie Ezell
