Dear Trip Families,

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for joining the Trip family as a Third-Grade teacher and to share my dedication to supporting every student's success. Having begun my career as a Third Grade DLI Spanish teacher and later transitioning to support role for students with IEPs in math and reading, I have witnessed the transformative power of education and individualized assistance. I am thrilled at the prospect of contributing to the exceptional learning environment that Trip provide.

I am looking forward to the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead and am committed to upholding high standards of education. My goal is to work collaboratively with students, families, and colleagues to ensure an enriching and supportive experience for all.

Thank you for this incredible opportunity, and I am excited to embark on this new journey with Trip Families.

Sincerely,

Christian Carlos
