Dear Parent and Students,

Let me introduce myself to you.  My name is Ellen Braverman and I will child's eighth grade ELA teacher this year.  I'm very honored to be teaching at EWSIS.  I will be working very closely with all your child's other teachers to make this a busy, productive and challenging year.  Family support and involvement are essential to making this year a successful one for us all.

Let's keep the door of communication open in both directions.  If you have any questions or concerns relating to your child, please do not hesitate to bring them to my attention at any time.  I can be reached by phone at: 718-353-0009, or by e-mail at: cbraverman@ewsis.org.  I value your input.  Together as a team, we can make this a rewarding and successful year.

Warm Regards,

Mrs. Candi Braverman
