Dear Parents,

My name is Angela Stanley, and I'll be your child’s math teacher for the upcoming school year. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and guiding your child through a successful 8th grade year.

First, allow me to share a little about myself, my name is Angela Stanley and this will be my 18th year teaching math in Fortbend ISD. My background consists of graduating from the University of Houston with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I majored in Accounting with a minor in International Studies. I was extremely involved in leadership during college where I held Fundraising Chair, CFO and Vice President of two of the many organizations that I was involved in. Teaching is my passion, and this is my 17^th year working at David Crockett Middle School. I am the math department head over all DCMS math teachers and I am the team leader for our 8^th grade math team.

My years of experience as a teacher have shaped my teaching that guides the way I help my students succeed in and out of the classroom. I truly believe that their success begins with making them comfortable in the classroom, so I start our school year with plenty of activities so everyone can get to know each another. I encourage them to share their questions and opinions in a non-judgement, comfortable and open environment.

I strive to create a space for students to explore their own learning styles, and I am here to help develop their interests and guide their retention of the material.

It's my goal to have regular parent/teacher communication and make sure you're aware of your child’s progress throughout the school year. I invite you to be an active participant in their education, as this will only help them to grow in their success.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter of introduction. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. My email is angela.stanley@fortbendisd.com, or feel free to call me at the school during normal school hours.

Best,

Angela Stanley
