Dear 8 Grade Families,
As the beginning of New School Year gets underway I would like to start off by
introducing myself. My name is Ms. Kojic and I will be teacher in your
son/daughters 8 grade classroom.
I received my Master Degree from The University of Arizona and became certified
teacher in chemistry in addition to general science. In 2015 I graduated at GCC
with degree Computer Science after I came in USA in 2011. I have Bachelor’s
Degree in Engineering Chemistry and Teaching Chemistry from University of Tuzla.
Throughout the last 2 years, I have had several experiences with different grade
levels and classroom substituting and teaching lessons. I do have 3 years’
experience teaching chemistry in high school.
I am very excited to be here at School District. I am looking forward to getting to
know you and your child in the upcoming weeks. We will have many wonderful
experiences and opportunities to learn and grow in the days ahead.
Please feel free contact me at any time with any questions or concerns. You can
contact me by email at snezanakojic@email.arizona.edu
I look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Ms. Snezana Kojic
