A Letter to Parents:
¡Hola! My name is Señora Mildred Molina, and I am delighted to be your son’s / daughter’s Spanish teacher for
the upcoming year. This will be my 14th year in Highlands County. It will be my third year in Sebring High School. The
previews twelve years I was at the elementary level.
I am a native Spanish speaker and I intend to teach the class with as much Spanish as possible. I feel that
total immersion is the best approach in order to learn a second language. I will make every effort to remain consistent
with the expectations and goals of this course through the semester. I can promise that I will make every attempt to
make this class fun and meaningful for your child. My school email is: [email protected]. Please take the
time to review the course syllabus, classroom rules and grading policy with your son/daughter. Sign this form once you
have read and reviewed them. Please include any comments you may have and that will assist me to be aware of your
needs and/or the needs of your child in the “Comments” section.
¡Muchas gracias! (Thank you!)
Sra. Mildred Molina
