  • To whom it may concern at Houghton Elementary School,
  • I am writing to express my interest in the Special Education Paraprofessional position at the Houghton Elementary School. I am eager to bring a positive attitude to the classrooms while helping the children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Kalisha Niska has highly recommended this job to me as she has really enjoyed working at this elementary school.
  • In the past, I have not worked in a school setting, but I am really looking forward to a new experience helping children with their learning. I have grown up with children all around me, teaching me patience and adaptability, and I have learned different ways to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and needs. I am motivated by the opportunity to contribute to an inclusive learning environment and help students reach their full potential in the classroom.
  • Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
  • Sincerely
