Dear Parents/Guardians:
My name is Chelsea Schwark, and I am so excited to be your students eighth grade English
teacher at Imagine Prep at Surprise this year! Before we begin the year, I wanted to take a
moment to introduce myself and to tell you a little bit about the course content and my plans for
the school year.
Eighth grade English is a class that combines elements of both English and Language Arts, so we
explore a little bit of everything from reading literature to functional and creative writing to
various aspects of speaking and listening. The students are evaluated using the Cambridge
Standards for Success, which can be found on the schools website. While all students are
required to take and pass the Cambridge year-end assessment, my class is not limited to that
single competency. Students in my class take very few tests because I do not feel they are always
completely accurate measures of assessment; however, I assess my students through creative
projects, various writing assignments, and interactive presentations. As a modern instructor, I
differentiate my instruction with proven strategies, new technologies, and collaborative grouping
to reach all different types of learners so that no student is ever left behind. Additionally, I build
off of my students prior knowledge and interests in order to make my content relevant to their
lives both now and in the future. I firmly believe that all students are capable of success in both
my classroom and in life, and I will always mentor your student with that philosophy in mind.
Please know that as parents/guardians, I encourage you to be an active participant in your
students learning. If you or your student ever have questions or concerns, I am always available
to you at (623) 545-5222 or chelseaschwark@imagine prep.com. Thank you for your time and
lets make this a great year!
Sincerely,
Chelsea Schwark
