Dear Parents,

It has come to my attention that certain behavioral issues are affecting our class as a whole. Although I am generally lenient, willing to listen and try to be patient with our students, I would draw the line when misbehavior poses a potential danger to others. I was informed that misbehavior in art class yesterday caused a pair of scissors to miraculously fly out of the window. I do not know the hows and whys of this incident but I believe we should make a point to our kids that they should also draw their line at dangerous behavior and tell an adult about it when they see such behavior.

Our class dynamic makes this group rambunctious, playful but at times too talkative for their own good. It's is a fine balance between being dry and boring to loud and out of control. As we continue with practice in listening and self-control we shall continue to keep safety as the utmost priority.

Please have a short talk with our kids at your convenience about matters of behavior as it pertains to the safety of self and others around us

Sincerely,

Arthur Tsay
