 Dear TAG Parents:

             My name is Becki Hendrick and I will be your child’s TAG teacher at Horizons, Johnston, or McKinley.  I am very excited to begin the school year, not only to get to know the new students and families that I will be working with, but also because there are so many great, familiar faces that I’m returning to.  My time between all three schools remains the same; I will have a full day for collaboration at each school in addition to the half day pull-together class each semester.

             I’ll be starting my seventh year as an elementary school teacher and my fifth year as a TAG teacher.  My family and I live on the south side of Appleton with our daughters Gwen (5 years old) and Maggie (2 ½ years old), Dabbler, our cat (18 years old), and Hot Dog, our turtle (3 ½ years old) completes our family.  Both my husband and I grew up in Appleton, so we thoroughly enjoy living and teaching in Appleton (my husband teaches 3^rd and 4^th grade Communication Arts and Social Studies at Odyssey).

 Attached is a letter explaining the TAG pull-together classes.  If at any time you have questions, feel free to contact me via phone or email (email is the quickest way to get in touch).  All of my contact information is included below, along with my schedule at my three schools.  Again, I cannot wait until TAG is in full swing, and I look forward to meeting/seeing you throughout the school year! 

 Sincerely,

 Becki Hendrick
