A note from Ms. Mansfield...

Dear Teasley Families:

We are quickly approaching the end of this school year and it has been FANTASTIC!! Thank

you so much for all of the support you have given this year! We have made great progress

towards our candidacy for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program and had our

first official visit by the IB Organization. We received great feedback on our progress and we

have outlined our action plan moving forward. We hope you have heard quite a bit about what

your children have learned over the course of the year and have seen them engaged in the

learning process. Our teachers have worked hard this year on what it is like to teach through

inquiry and hopefully you are seeing your children become more and more curious and

researching things that are interesting to them.

We are in full planning mode for 2019-20. One of the most important processes in preparing for

a successful year is student placement. Providing each child with excellent instruction in an

engaging, inviting, and safe atmosphere is critical. Careful attention is given to each individual

child during the placement process. Our goal is to create well-balanced heterogeneous

classrooms, giving much thoughtfulness to student strengths and needs in regards to academic

proficiency, social competency, emotional maturity, behavioral dynamics, and learning

styles. While our highly qualified teachers subscribe to consistent standards, their delivery

methods are unique. We work to match each student with the teacher who will best meet their

needs.

Because our teachers know their students well, and know where they will be successful as they

progress through school, they will have extensive input on class placement. If there is

information of which we are unaware that you would like for us to consider, you may submit a

letter or e-mail to me by Friday, May 10th. Letters should be submitted in a sealed envelope, or

e-mailed to me at leslie.mansfield@cobbk12.org. Requests for specific teachers should not be

made and will not be considered. Those letters and emails will be returned to be revised. A

description of your child’s learning style and needs, an unusual family situation, or a special

learning environment is all that will be needed. Every child will be thoughtfully placed

regardless of whether or not a letter is received. Individual conferences with administration are

not necessary.

Your child’s success is our goal, and we are grateful to be partnering with you!!

Sincerely,

Leslie C. Mansfield
