Parent+Letter

Dear Parents,

I wanted to introduce myself to each of you and take this opportunity to provide you with some important information at the beginning of the year. Your student has enrolled in my AP European History course at Penn Manor HS. I am excited to begin teaching each of the students in this class. This will be my fifth school year teaching at Penn Manor, and every year seems to get even better! I graduated from Millersville University in 2003 with a degree in Social Studies Education, and was originally raised in Bucks County, PA (1998 graduate of Council Rock High School). Currently, I am teaching both AP European History and Government & Economics. In addition, I have taught several semesters of Honors Global History. Outside of school, I have served as junior high track coach, the district coordinator for National History Day, and an advisor for our Quiz Bowl team.

In addition to introductions, I wanted to also touch base with each of you about the course itself. I have given your son/daughter two copies of the course syllabus. I have asked that they keep their copy safe in their class binder. The second copy is for you. I have tried to include a lot of essential information about how the course will run, what will be expected of students, and other such information. Please discuss the information with your student. AP European History is designed to be a very rigorous course, and there will be a substantial amount of reading and writing as part of the coursework. I want more than anything for every student to succeed, not only in class, but also on the AP Exam, in college, and in life.

I am here to help in any way I can. I am available after school from 3pm – 4:30pm, almost every day, to work with students. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you ever have any questions/comments/concerns. The best way to contact me is usually through email [chris.meier@pennmanor.net]. I look forward to meeting you at Back to School Night.

Thank you, Mr. Chris Meier Separate Here & Return Bottom ↑ Name of Student: _ __Name(s) of Parent(s)/Guardian(s):__ _ _
