JLA INTRO TO SOCIAL STUDIESDear Parents/Guardians,My name is William Reeve and I will be your student’s Social Studies Teacher. Your student’s educational welfare and safety will be my priority. Like you I am a parent. I have two children and would want assurance that my children are being taught in accordance with the state guidelines.I am a 20-year Army veteran who was also an Army Brat. I went to 5 elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools. In those 20 years in the Army four of those years as an instructor at Ft Sam Houston. I hold a Composite Social Studies teaching certification for the State of Texas with a Master’s Degree in Education and Bachelor Degrees in History and Food Service Management. As part of my Master’s program I completed my student teaching at Byron P. Steele HS teaching Government and Economics. Last year was my first year here at JLA with 7 years of substitute teaching within the SCUCISD at Clemens and Steele high schools.Parents/Guardians, the school has a policy that there will be no cellphone use in the classroom for the purposes of texting (this includes Snapchat and other forms of media), receiving or making phone calls. Your student will not use their phone during lectures or have it during testing. If you must reach our student, please contact the front desk and the receptionist will let us know. Please do not interrupt class time with phone calls or text messages.In the end, your goal and mine is to ensure the successful completion of their courses at the end of the semester with the ultimate goal of graduation. I look forward to working with you to achieve this goal.Respectfully,William E. Reeve, M.
