Welcome to 3rd Grade 2017-2018


Dear Families,

Welcome to third grade! I am very excited to work and learn with your student this year. I hope you and your student have had a great summer. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your student on Meet The Teacher Night, Tuesday, August 15th from 4-5pm in Room 120!

Please have your student bring a book on the first day of school they can start or continue reading. 

Please bookmark this page. It will be my primary vehicle for communicating with families during the school year. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me via email. jhudson@uaschools.org or phone (614) 487-5060 ext. 120.
