Teacher Evaluation for Whitworth Buchanan Middle School Cheerleading
Dear Teacher,
All students trying out for Whitworth Buchanan Cheerleading Squad must get a current teacher
evaluation. This gives us a better picture of the student trying out and will be a part of our decision in
selecting the squad. It is important that you give your honest opinion of the student based on your current
knowledge.
Please return the evaluation to the student in the envelope provided and sign the seal.
Thank you for your time,
Threasa Conley and Katie Freeland
