Dear [Recipients Name],

My name is Wilma Ross, and I will be your teaching assistant for the new school year. Principal Wiggins gave me your school email address and encouraged me to write to you. I thought we might meet before school started to get to know one another. I like to know a person, what they expect of me, before the first day. Otherwise, I get a bit nervous.

Will be graduating with my teaching degree in the fall and I could not be happier. It will be my most proud accomplishment so far! I am not married and have no children. My parents live about an hour away in Childress. That is where I grew up.

I suppose I have wanted to be a teacher forever. It seemed like such a fun job when I was a child. My teachers always seemed to be energetic and creative! I want to be just like that! Principal Wiggins tells me you are excellent at what you do and that the students love you.

If you would like to get together or if I can help set up the room, please let me know. I look forward to learning a lot from you! Here's to a good school year!

Sincerely,

[Senders Name]

Further things to consider when writing introduction letters to students

Introduction Letters

Introduction letters are letters written to establish contact, outline new products or services or request information. Such letters are used in business communications. They can be to introduce a connection to people you already know or to people you have never met. The primary objective of introduction letters is to introduce yourself, your business, or another person to another party. In any scenario, introduction letters should be readable, concise, and effective in delivering the information you want. Introduction letters are a great networking tool and an effective way to get what you want from people you have not met physically.

One of the most important tips to remember when writing introduction letters is to keep them brief and to the point. First, state who you are and your role, and where necessary, mention how you got the recipient's name. Then, briefly explain the purpose of your letter and what you hope to accomplish - be as clear as you can. Include any other details that you think could be helpful. Establish a personal connection and an appropriate tone of the letter. Conclude with a brief description of how the recipient can get in touch with you.

Letters to Students

Letters to students are letters written to people who are learning in colleges or universities. Such letters could be from teachers/lecturers or the administration. They can be addressed to a specific student, students of a specific module/course, or all students in an institution. Letters to students can be written to address behaviors in students, give information about a certain course or module, or announce an important date in an institution. Depending on the sender and the content, these letters can be formal or informal.

When writing letters to students, you need to evaluate the content and the relationship you have with the recipient. For instance, if you are writing to give advice to one of your favorite students, make the letter personal and friendly. However, if you are addressing a group of students on matters concerning an academic program, use a formal and professional tone. Regardless, all your letters must have a clear subject line that explains your purpose. Convey your message directly, highlighting and bolding important information. If you are giving instructions, arrange the instructions in bullets or numbers. Conclude with a call to action and sign the letter with your full name, title, and signature.
