Dear Families,
I
would like to extend to each of you a warm welcome to fourth grade! I
am looking forward to a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter
and fun!
My
name is Janice Skibinski and I have been a teacher for Livonia Public
Schools for over 20 years. I have taught every grade level from
Kindergarten through sixth, with the exception of fifth. I am a graduate
of Eastern Michigan University, where I received both my Bachelor's and
Master's degrees, as well as a state endorsement in Early Childhood
Education.
I have three fabulous children of my own, who also attended Livonia Public Schools. My daughter Nicole is a recent graduate from Central Michigan University. Matthew, my oldest son, attends Miami of Ohio and is a member of their football team. My youngest, David, is entering ninth grade at Churchill this year. I also have one adorable little dog named Chloe. They all keep me
incredibly busy!!
When
I do have a few moments to myself (which isn't very often) I enjoy nature, spending time with my family, reading, walking (especially on nature trails) and photography.
I
believe communication between home and school is vital to having a
successful school year. I am asking each family to send me a quick email so that I am able to set up an email group for important classroom information. My email address is: jskibins@livoniapublicschools.org. Please put your child's first and last name in the subject line. If your child's last name is different from yours, please include your full name in the body of the email. If you do not have access to a computer or the internet, please let me know as soon as possible so I can make sure you receive all of the information you need to help your child be successful this year. Please do not hesitate to contact
me if you ever have any questions or concerns. The
best way to reach me is through email or a note in your child's planner.
I
feel very fortunate to be working with your children this year. I am
excited about making this year both meaningful and memorable for the
students
Yours truly,
Ms. Skibinski
