Writing with Kris

Hello parents,                                                                                         August 5, 2018

It’s the first week in August, which means it’s finally time to register for Writing with Kris classes!

I have tried to include as much information as possible on my website (www.writingwithkris.com), so please be sure to take a look at everything that’s happening with Writing with Kris.  I am offering new classes, in new locations, along with new grade levels, so don’t miss out on an opportunity that might be a great fit for your child. Go to www.writingwithkris.com. 

New Information

Here is a bit of information I’d like to highlight for you, but you’ll have to go to the website for details:

1. Once again, Wednesday classes in Orangevale include a class for 1st/2^nd graders!!
2. Thursday classes in Roseville/Rocklin will now include a class for 6-8^thgraders, as well as a class for high schoolers.
3. Writing with Kris is partnering with Inspire Learning Academy in Auburn to offer a 15-week, 30-hour literature-based writing class for high school students on Mondays.
4. One of our outstanding teachers, Mrs. Malinowski, is offering an online College Prep literature-based writing class. Days and times still need to be coordinated based on the students who plan to attend this class.
5. Writing with Kris is partnering with Fusion Elite in Rocklin to offer three different enrichment classes for students in grades 1-8. 

Classes

Directions to register for a class:

1. Simply reply to this email with the following information (even if you already sent me an email):

• Child’s (children’s) name (first and last)
• Parent’s name (first and last)
• Phone number
• Location of class (i.e. Orangevale, Roseville/Rocklin, Inspire Learning Academy, etc.)
• Grade level of class (i.e. 3/4^th grade, 6-8^th grade, high school, etc.)
• Name of charter school: please include charter school teacher’s name, phone number, and email (or indicate private pay)

2. Order your voucher

• As most of you know, Writing with Kris accepts vouchers from all local charter schools. If you have not already ordered your voucher for class, please request a voucher in two or three equal monthly installments.  If you have already ordered your voucher with the entire class fee on one voucher, that is fine this time.  

3. You should receive a reply to your email confirming your child’s registration information within 2 days.  If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact Kris by sending a follow-up email. 
4. Please reply with registration information by Saturday, August 11.  While you may register later than Aug. 11, you may be required to purchase your child’s book for class if our supply runs out.

Tutoring

For a variety of reasons tutoring lessons are a better option for some families.  I will begin pairing up students with tutors at this time.  Tutoring will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so let me know right away if you would like to arrange tutoring lessons.

Directions to arrange tutoring lessons:

1. Simply reply to this email with the following information:

• Child’s (children’s) names
• Parent’s name (first and last)
• Parent’s phone number
• What libraries you live near to meet for tutoring lessons 
• What school days and times are you NOT able to schedule tutoring lessons due to prior commitments

• Name of charter school: please include charter school teacher’s name, phone number, and email (or indicate private pay)

Online option 

If the onsite classes and tutoring are not going to work for you, online classes and tutoring via Skype are also available to anyone.  These classes have proven to be very convenient and beneficial to students. My website has details regarding the online classes that are being offered.

There is even a late afternoon class online specifically scheduled to accommodate students who are in traditional schools, yet their writing instruction is lacking.

Please feel free to send me an email if you have questions.  You may also call me and leave a message if you need to discuss what would be the appropriate class for your child/children.
