Sample Parent Letter - (page 1 of 2)

Dear Parents,

Our School is proud to offer the National Mathematics Pentathlon Program for interested Kindergarten through 7th grade students. Our Math Pentathlon Club meets starting from .

• Kinder and 1st grade group will meet in Room 100

• 2nd and 3rd grade group will meet in the Media Center

• 4th and 5th grade group will meet in Room 117

• 6th and 7th grade group will meet in Room 120

Through the use of the Math Pentathlon Games, logical, computational and spatial reasoning are developed in a highly motivational format designed for students within a broad range of ability levels. These games use a wide variety of physical models to provide enjoyable practice of active problem-solving skills. Adults find the games fun and challenging as well!

To become involved in this exciting program, please complete and return the attached registration form to your child’s teacher beginning . To provide the best quality experience possible for our students, we limit the enrollment for Math Pentathlon to students for each grade level. Priority enrollment will be given to students who were active members of last year’s Pentathlon group and students whose parents are available and willing to be volunteers during our weekly sessions.

After the registrations are received and processed, an email will be sent confirming your child’s participation for the year. When you receive this email, you will be able to make your payment online through our school PTA website or send a check to your child’s teacher. The club fee for this exciting learning opportunity will be $ per student. This fee will be used to purchase team t-shirts and snacks for the club.

Because of our limited enrollment, it is ESSENTIAL that we have a committed attitude from your child for participation in the program and from parents who are available and interested in learning the games and assisting the students during each weekly session. We need 1-2 parents who can attend our weekly sessions and assist each group. If you would like more information on how you can volunteer, please contact at

Please understand that this after-school academic club is an enrichment activity where students are expected to be cooperative and respectful.
