Tell them a little about yourself & your background.
Tell them how to contact you...whether you prefer phone, email, etc. Also remind them that because your job is to focus on the needs of the children, you may not always be available to speak with them during school time but you are always happy to make an appointment. If you will be communicating with them by newsletter, calendar, email, etc. it's also nice for you to let them know what to expect in that regard.
If you will need any special supplies or materials, you might include that in the letter...it depends on how your school operates. Some distribute supply lists, others have sign up sheets at orientation, etc.
I always remind parents to label every item with child's name. This is important because many hats, coats, mittens, etc look alike and there can be hurt feelings if children fight over them. Invariably the brand new sweater Grandma sent will not be labelled and it will get lost and then you of course are the bad guy! Items that are marked don't get lost or sent home in the wrong bag.
I also remind parents their children WILL be getting dirty. Don't send them in brand new or expensive clothing. If you don't want paint on it, don't wear it to preschool! I usually reminded them about the school policy against sandals & flipflops due to playground safety issues. Nicely worded of course! ;-)
Any other policies that you may have... for example, my classes went outside everyday unless it was pouring down rain or below the school's temp limit. I told parents that in my letter and reminded them to dress their kids appropriately for the weather.
Another important thing IMO is to remind parents to notify you if anything is going on at home that might affect their child's behavior at school... divorce, a move, death of family member or pet, even a parent travelling out of town. It helps you be more sensitive to the child's needs if you know when something major is going on.
Last, end on an up note. Tell them how excited you are to be working with their families and how honored you are that they have entrusted their precious children to your care. Let them know it's going to be a great year and you can't wait to get started learning & exploring together! :-)
Good luck & have fun! There's no right or wrong answer here... like someone else said, you want to give them some of the important points but you don't want to overwhelm them with too many details.

Introduce yourself. Highlight special projects/themes/units for the year. State goals. Give important dates to remember. Identify any special classroom rules you will be focusing on. List any special supplies you will need students to bring just for your class. Don't make it too overwhelming. But you want it to be informative and purposeful.

Lets keep things plain, you need to attract attention and give them content. Being a woman you have already made there. First is to attract attention. Go to the podium in your sexiest dress, sprinkle a little bit of body show and lo u got eye balls, now if u r addressing men it does not matter what u mutter they can do one thing at a time. So prepare a printout of ur speech and distribute. make sure u can handle the compliments later on.

Start by telling them a little about yourself and your teaching philosophy/mission statement. Then, give a brief description of what things you plan to do during the year. Let them know they are welcome to speak to you with concerns/suggestions.

I have to honestly say that if you are coming here for inspiration when it comes to something like that then you should have paid more attention while in college. I can understand nerves but come on...take hold of the situation...be who it is you are and who you worked to be. Don't depend on people who 'kant rite worf ****' to help you.
