Dear Parents,
My name is Mr. Austin Bogina and I will be your childs fourth grade
teacher this school year. I am very excited to meet both you and your child
as we embark on this new adventure together. This year is sure to be a
successful one if I can establish a positive level of communication and
understanding from you so that I can ensure every possible opportunity for
your childs success in the classroom. This is my first year of teaching so I
am aware that there will be many learning lessons and obstacles for me to
face this school year. All that I ask is for you to always be upfront with me
and bring any concerns you have to my attention so that they can be
resolved to the best of my ability.
A little background on me is that I graduated from Pittsburg State
University with an elementary education degree. On top of my education
degree, I have degrees in business administration, marketing, and public
relations. While pursuing my degrees, I was also a 2x NCAA National Cross
Country qualifier and a 2x captain for the Mens Cross Country and Track
&Field teams. I was actively involved in honor societies, serving as a class
mentor for incoming college freshmen, and selected as a University
Development Advancement Ambassador. I was a 2x Academic All-American
during my college career and managed to take between 15-21 hours each
semester while attending practice twice a day.
I decided to tell you the things about me listed above because I want
you to believe in what I am doing. I want you to know that I can handle a
great deal of work and stress while still producing positive results such as the
ones I will produce from your child. Finding a comfortable balance of
workload and successful time management skills has got me to this point
and will continue to guide me through this school year. If your child is going
to be the best student he/she can be then you must be willing to accept my
proposal of becoming an active parent.
Together you, your child, and I will grow and learn throughout this
school year. I am looking forward to an exciting and eventful year and that
all starts with us agreeing to become a team. I would greatly appreciate it if
you would come to our schools open house on August 17th at 5:00 p.m. so
that we can formally meet and discuss any items that I should know about
before school starts. Again, I am pleased to have your child in my class and

look forward to the relationship that we all form during this school year.
Finally, remember that your childs first day of school is August 18th at 8:00.
Sincerely, Mr. Austin Bogina
