Dear Parents, Thank you for visiting the site. I hope you and your student find it helpful. Please see below for a letter to all parents/guardians about conferences. I plan to update this site at least once per week. If you have any problems or notice that I haven't updated in at least a week, please let me know via email. As always, feel free to contact me if you have ANY questions or concerns. Thanks for your support, Andrea Butler Math Teacher (651)621-6891 andrea.butler@moundsviewschools.org or use the mailbox icon on the home page. September 25, 2009 Dear Parents and Guardians, The math department at Irondale High School has the reputation of being one of the top high school math departments in the area. Schools from all over the metro contact us because they see the success that our students have and they want to be able to duplicate that success. An important component of our success is the continued efforts the IHS faculty put forth in professional development that refreshes our teaching and teaches us new skills. We have an outstanding opportunity to attend the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Regional Mathematics Conference being held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on November 5th and 6th. This excellent professional development opportunity, hosted in Minneapolis only every 5-6 years, will strengthen our teaching and help us to serve your student even better. Unfortunately, this conference conflicts with two of Irondale’s parent teacher conference dates and we will not be available for conferences for a portion of the November 5 conference schedule and all of November 6. As teachers, we know that parent engagement with teachers is important to our students’ success. For that reason, we are each dedicating time outside of normal conference time to meet with you. If you wish to have a conference with your child’s math teacher but one does not get scheduled, please contact us personally either via email or at the phone number extension listed below to set up a phone conference or to set up another time to meet. Thank you for your understanding in this matter and your support of our professional development efforts. Sincerely, Irondale Math Teachers Please call us at (651) 621-xxxx to schedule a different conference time or to have a phone conference.
