Hello families and friends of Room 8!

     Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year!  This year, we will be working hard in Room 8, which is the primary BRITE classroom.  So far, the year is off to a great start!
      My name is Melissa Kleinholz and I am the special education teacher.  Patti Sundquist is the behavior tech in the classroom.  The BRITE program team also includes Rachel Barrett, our BRITE program therapist, and Kye Hong, the BRITE team lead.
     Together, we work to help students learn and grow in many ways.  We work on teaching students about emotions and social skills, as well as helping them to access the standard K-3 academic curriculum. 
     I look forward to working with the students of Room 8 and their families.  Please contact me, or any member of the BRITE team, at any time with questions, concerns, or even just to say hello or send an update.  The easiest way to reach me is via e-mail.  My e-mail address is melissa.kleinholz@shorelineschools.  Similarly, Patti can be reached at Patti.sundquist@shorelineschools.org and Rachel can be reached at rachel.barrett@shorelineschools.org. 
      If you prefer to speak directly with staff members, you may call (206)368-4165 and ask for Room 8.  If we are available, we will answer the phone.  Due to the busy nature of our classroom, however, you may be prompted to leave a voicemail, which we will return as soon as we are able.  Additionally, we always welcome notes from families, which can be sent to school with your child's daily points sheet.
     We in the BRITE team look forward to working in partnership with you this year.  Thank you.

Melissa
