Parent/Guardian Communication
MYP Sciences Year 4
Pre-AP Biology/Biology
Denton High School 2015-16
Dear Parent/Guardian,
My name is Rhana Ramos, and I’m very excited to be your student’s Pre-AP Biology teacher! I want to encourage you to get in touch with me throughout the
school year if you have any comments or concerns.
The easiest way to reach me is via email. My email address is rramos@dentonisd.org.
In an effort to reduce paper use, I have placed all the documents that are vital to my classroom on my webpage.
If you do NOT have internet access, or prefer to have a hard copy of the documents, I would be happy to provide them at your request
Website: Access my website by visiting www.dentonisd.org/dhs, clicking on the Faculty/Staff button, and going to the Staff Directory. You may also type
http://www.dentonisd.org//Domain/658. There you will discover information and resources that you and your student may find helpful.
Internet Access: Many assignments and projects your student will do this year will require internet access. If you and/or your student do not have internet access
at home, the public library has computer labs for use. There are 3 area branches and they all have extended hours. In addition, the school library is open before
and after school for student use, and there will be extended hours during the week [time to be announced.]
Please read the back of this form carefully and initial by each item. Thank you!

I enjoy speaking with parents and want you to be informed about your student’s progress. E-mail is the most efficient way to reach me and I
will try to answer your e-mails the same day that I receive them before 7pm. Also, it would be helpful if you provide the following information, at
your discretion, so I may contact you in the most efficient manner.
Please print carefully. Please provide a local phone number.
