Dear Parents,
Welcome to fourth grade!! I’m very excited to be teaching
your child this year! Fourth grade is a busy year, and it will fly by
quickly. Before we get started, here’s a little bit about me.
I was born and raised in northern New Jersey. I attended
Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania where I
received my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. During
my years at Elizabethtown, I had the opportunity to student teach
in grades 7, 5, and 3. My “official” student teaching took place in
third grade. While at Elizabethtown I also tutored community
students in grades 1-6. My experiences as a head summer camp
counselor have also helped orient me to the wacky and wonderful
ways of children!
Your children have the special treat of being my very first
class! I can’t wait to begin the school year learning and having fun
with your children. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t
hesitate to contact me. You can reach me by email
lcluggis@loudoun.k12.va.us, by phone (703) 444-7532, or just
drop a note in your child’s planner. Thanks!
Sincerely,
