First Day of School

"Kyokara ichinenkan shinkos wo tanto sasete itadakimasu.
Seippai tsutomesasete itadakimasu node konendomo yoroshiku onegaishimasu."


I've been asked to say this to all of my students' parents upon seeing them since it's the start of the new school year. Apparently it's Japanese tradition and very formal upon meeting with parents at the beginning of each year.

It roughly transltes into this:
"From today for one year I will be responsible for your child's education. It is my pleasure to have them and accept this responsibility."
