Hello, Welcome!

Dancing Daisy

Dear Families, Parents and Children,

My name is Mr. Francis Jamieson and I have recently received the list of children who have been assigned to my class starting on September 5th.

I am eager to talk with you and look forward to meeting you all soon.

I am hopeful that we will be partners with a shared goal of advancing each child based on their individual needs, strengths and interests, while engaging and challenging students, collaboratively building for each child the foundation for a fulfilling future. Together we will provide a safe and caring environment at school as it is at home. Surely, our united focus can be jointly framed so that each child will advance socially, emotionally and academically throughout the coming year. Furthermore, these communications ensure we are building strong support systems that lead to success in and beyond the classroom.

Please know I’m available at any time if you would like to chat or have any questions as we start the 2024-2025 school year.

Whenever you are able, please contact me at fjamieson@yonkerspublicschools.org, ClassDojo, or by telephone.

@ (914) 376-8470 and I’ll be happy to reply.

Sincerely,

Francis K. Jamieson
