Greetings: at the beginning of a new school year
In this case, you want to write a few words on the occasion of the new school year starting in April. You can speak directly to the teacher instead of writing in the renrakucho.
The greeting at the beginning can be omitted. 「今年度もよろしくお願いします」(konnendo mo yoroshiku onegai shimasu, or "thank you in advance for your continued support this school year") can be used at the beginning.

To describe grades in preschool, some schools give the class or grade names such as himawari-gumi ("sunflower class") or tsubasa-gumi ("wings class"). They may use "san" instead of "gumi", for example himawari-san or tsubasa-san, or a combination of the two, as in himawari-gumi-san or tsubasa-gumi-san. Although it depends on the school, younger classes may be given names with the -chan suffix, such as zero-chan for age 0-1, issai-chan for age 1-2, and nisai-chan for age 2-3. Kindergarten children, or children 3 years of age and older, are often referred to by their level in a three-year system: nensho-san for first-year students (age 3-4), nenchu-san for second-year students (age 4-5) and nencho-san for third-year students (age 5-6). For classes of children under 3 years of age, -chan tends to be added to the name, with –san used for classes of children over 3 years of age.
