This 4-page packet given to students on the first day of school introduces students to my class content and procedures. It includes 1) a letter of introduction to students and parents, 2) Behavior Contract with rules and consequences, 3) 2-sided syllabus outlining the class and procedures. This is sent home with students for parents to read and sign. I also sell a PowerPoint that goes along with this packet. Use/modify if you wish!

I have been teaching grades 7 and 8 Language Arts and Social Studies at De Anza Academy of Technology & the Arts in Ventura, California since 2001. I have also briefly taught high school ESL (grades 9-12), and I spent one month teaching English in Moscow, Russia.
