​Dear Greenfield Families,
I am looking forward to an exciting year with your child.  My name is Mrs. Donna Sturycz and I will be facilitating your child’s education for the 2019/2020 school year. I have been teaching at Greenfield for 17 years.  I hold a bachelor’s degree in elementary/ middle education, a math certification for grades 5-8 and a master’s degree in curriculum and leadership. On a personal note, I am married and have three wonderful children ages 20, 18 and 14.  I love to cook, read, craft and I enjoy nature. 
Classroom Management Procedures: In order to maintain a safe and friendly environment in the classroom, the class rules (see attached PBIS document) must be followed at all times, and if they are not, these are the steps I will take to make behavior corrections.
  1. Eye contact with your child
  2. Verbal Warning-This is a discussion which will be documented in writing
  3. Clothes Pin moved to yellow
  4. Cool Down Corner-In this space your child will be given 10 minutes to do something creative, productive and reflective while returning to a calm state of being.
  5. ID moved to red-A red slip will be sent home
Please know that my classroom door is always open.  My direct extension is 414-902-8253 and I can be reached from 7:30-3:30.  My email address is sturycdd@milwaukee.k12.wi.us and I will address emails from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.   Please email me as soon as you receive this letter and include your child’s name, so that I may have your email address to be able to easily communicate with you.  I am including the completion requirements document, Class Dojo registration and PBIS guidelines.  I would also love to get to know your child.  Please share my email address with them and have them send an introduction email to me. They may share ideas like hobbies, favorite foods, what they do for fun, etc.  This will be there first homework assignment.  J
Sincerely,
 
Mrs. Sturycz
