Welcome to
Mrs.Ward's Room 13 Classroom at Parkwood School Dear Room 13 families, Welcome to a new school year at Parkwood Elementary. Your child is one of 8 children in room 13. We blend our class with Mrs. Ibach’s first grade in room 10. We call ourselves “Room 10/13". There will be 35 children when we are together. “Blending” provides a wonderful opportunity for strong friendships, increased skill development and wonderful role models for both groups. I am very fortunate to have a wonderful staff working with me in room 13. They are paraeducators: • RoseAnn McLaughlin • Chris Hofmeister • Angela Gustafson • Stephanie Wallace • Michelle McAbee Our support therapy staff is • Christine Dunbar, Speech language pathologist Barb Bender, Physical Therapy Erika Drajeske, Occupation Therapy • Molly Wergeland, Occupational Therapy • Marie Shaw, Physical Therapy • Rachel Warwick, Vision Specialist Please see the classroom supply list below. The composition book will be used as a communication notebook between home and school for quick messages. I check them in the morning, so if you have something you want me to know right away please write it there. You can also reach me by e-mail at kathleen.ward@shorelineschools.org. I tend to read my e-mail at the end of the day. You can also call 206-393-1433. During school hours you can leave a message there. I believe that communication between home and school is very important. We have daily class snacks with our blended class. Please send a box of snacks to share. We are a “peanut free zone”. Please do not send anything with peanuts. I look forward to a grand year with your child. Sincerely, Kathleen Ward Room 13 Classroom supply list
