Hello Parents:
Sincerely,
Stephen Ahlers
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Stephen Ahlers. I will be your children’s 4th grade homeroom teacher. This is my second year at Hsinchu International School and my third in Taiwan.
Below is a list of items that I would like your children to bring to school. I have done my best to include all necessary items; however, there may be additional items required as the year progresses.
I am looking forward to having your children in my class. Together, we can help them be successful and confident. I am looking forward to a wonderful, productive year!
