Dear KLA Leaders:

My name is Mr. Hamler and I would like to welcome to KLA all new and returing 6^h grade students. I will be teaching the 6^th grade Humanities class, a history class  and a REACH Leadership class. I am so excited to get to know all of you and to help facilitate your learning and understanding of history and language arts.

I had an incredible summer. I spent much of my time surfing and hanging out with my wife and 3 year old little girl, Isabella(and a baby boy on the way!). Usually I travel the world during the summer(I have been to 25 countries so far), but this summer the Hamler family  did some camping in Northern California. There are so many beautiful and diverse places to see in our state! In my travels, I have been to many historical and beautiful places and will share stories with you as we travel together through this year.

I graduated from college at Cal Poly Pomona with a business degree and then attended National University for my teaching credential. I also have a Master's Degree in Cross-Cultural Education.  This will be my sixth year at KLA. When I began working at Keiller, I was astounded at how many of the students took the role of a leader seriously. I am hoping to be astounded again this year.  I consider my self lucky to be at a school with such dedicated students, staff, parents and administration. Students who I have already had, I am very excited to have you as my students again!

In my class, I will show leadership and expect you to do the same. I expect students to respect others, do all their classwork, participate in class frequently, work diligently in groups, complete all their homework, and most of all, convey an attitude that they are always striving for success.

If you or your parents have any questions or concerns about your performance in my class, or any other issues, you are welcome to set up an appointment with me after school. Email me anytime at [email protected]. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. I am looking forward to meeting and learning more about each and every one of you!

Sincerely,

Mr. Hamler
