Dear Parents/Guardians:
My name is Andrew DeMaris, and I
have recently accepted the position of English Language Arts and 8th
Grade Social Studies teacher at the Helen S. Dunn School. I am very excited about this opportunity to
teach your students, and look forward to meeting and getting to know each and
every one of them over the coming school year.
As I am new to the district, I want to introduce myself and let you know
a little about me.
I graduated from the University of
Maine in 2011 with two degrees, one in Education and one in History. Recently, I have completed all my coursework
for a Master’s in History as well, and hope to finish my thesis soon. I love to read old books, and hope to share
my love for good writing and interesting history with my classes here at Helen
S. Dunn School. I got married in August
2011 to my lovely wife Alise, who is studying to be a speech therapist at the
University of Maine. She and I live in
Old Town. I have lived in Maine,
Connecticut, and Washington state at various points in my life, and after
experiences with 1,800-student city schools, I enjoy the idea of working with
such a close-knit community and school system.
I like to communicate often with
parents and students. I have created a
website where I will post updates on classes and activities, including any
letters like this that I send out. You
can find all my contact information above, including the school phone number
and my email address. I check email
daily, and will gladly return phone calls if you would like to talk. I will be sending home information on class
assignments with students once school starts; if you have any questions about
their coursework or homework, please feel free to contact me.
I am looking forward to a great
year!
Sincerely,
Andrew DeMaris
