Letter to Parents:

The 2010/2011 school year holds many possibilities for the students of Fall Creek Academy.  As the high school English teacher, I will be working to ensure that our students develop the language skills and literary understanding they need in order to develop as responsible and deep thinking citizens.  My class will be working with Mr. Wheeler's History and Government classes in order to give students as much time to work with the material as possible.  We believe that by combining our subject, we are giving students more exposure to the material and the more exposure we give them, the more likely they are to truly hold on to that information.  
 
As parents and guardians of these students, I will be reaching out to you on a regular basis to keep you in touch with what is happening in the classroom.  Communication, however, goes both ways, so I would encourage you to call me with any questions you have about your student, an assignment, or anything else that relates to your student and his/her education.  My phone number is 317-607-0168, and I encourage you to call me.  
 
Sincerely,
Joel Thomas
