Note to Parents and Students

DEAR PARENTS AND STUDENTS,

IN ADDITION TO WELCOMING YOU TO THE CLASS, I WANT TOINTRODUCE MYSELF AND MY EXPECTATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. IF THE OCCASION EVER ARISES THAT YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME, EMAIL IS MOST EFFECTIVE AND I CAN BEREACHED AT JWEITZEL@OXFORD.k12.PA.US. DEPENDING ON THE DAY OR THE WEEK, I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO YOUR EMAIL, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO RETURN ANY CONTACT WITHIN 24 HOURS.

I AM FREE EVERY DAY BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER SCHOOL FOR EXTRA-HELP. I ARRIVE AT SCHOOL BEFORE 6:30 AM AND STAY TILL 3:30 PM EACH DAY; THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR STUDENTS TO GET EXTRA-HELP. ADDITIONALLY, STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SEEK HELP DURING MY LUNCH PERIOD IF THE SCHEDULEPERMITS. THIS EXTRA-HELP TIME IS PERFECT FOR GETTING ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION OR CLARIFYING QUESTIONS; THUS STUDENTS SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT; GET ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY.

MY PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR ANY POST-SECONDARY OPPORTUNITY. THE CLASS IS INTENDED AND CONSTRUCTED IN SUCH A MANNER TO CHALLENGE ALL STUDENTS. MY AIM IS TO DEVELOP AND REFINE THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO EXCEL IN WHATEVER DIRECTION A STUDENT CHARTERS FOLLOWING HIGH SCHOOL, AND WORLD HISTORY IS THE VENUE FOR WHICH I STRIVE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL. DESPITE THE CHALLENGING NATURE OF THE COURSE, IT IS WITH THE MOST HONORABLE INTENTIONS OF IMPROVING ALL STUDENTS AND ENHANCING THEIR SKILLS. TO FULLY ACCOMPLISH MY GOAL OF PREPARING STUDENTS FOR ANY POST-SECONDARY PATH, I BELIEVE THAT ALL STUDENTS NEED TO BE EMERSED IN A CHALLENGING LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT FORCES THEM TO THINK. GIVEN THE DEMANDING NATURE OF THE COURSE, THE EFFORT EXERTED FROM EACH STUDENT IS PARAMOUNT. MY GOAL IS TO HELP STUDENTS MAKE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THEIR EFFORT AND THEIR SUCCESS. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT ALL STUDENTS CAN LEARN AND I BELIEVE ALL STUDENTS WILL LEARN IN MY CLASS. WITH EFFORT, STUDENTS CAN ACHIEVE AND I SEE MY JOB AS FACILITATING AND FOSTERING THIS EFFORT.

ONCE AGAIN, I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOUR SON ORDAUGHTER. IF THERE IS EVER A QUESTION, COMMENT, OR ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION, PLEASE TO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME.

BEST,
JOSHUA WEITZEL
