His mathematics and science subjects are going well and he has also scored goods marks in them, but he has some difficulties in the literature subjects. He is not taking interest in literature as he feels them too much boring. Even if he feels them boring these subjects are necessary for the curriculum. (Write actual problems and situations). To improve his performance the parents should focus to develop his interest in these subjects. You have to encourage him to read different novels and books to improve his understanding. Sincerely, Your name… Teacher and Section Head, School/Institute name… More PostLatest Post➤ you need to communicate with the school about your child’s education. Current as of October 2021 This short publication comes from a much longer Parent’s Guide that focuses on communicating with your child’s school via letter writing. There are times when you, as a parent, may want to communicate in writing with your child’s school about some problem or concern with your child’s education or well-being. Because the Parent’s Guide is so long, we decided it would be more convenient to our readers if each of the letters discussed in the guide was also available separately, to make reading and printing individual letters easier. This page presents a model letter or email you might write the school to discuss a problem or concern you have regarding your child.
DiscussionWhen might I want to write to my child’s school?Sometimes your child may have a particular problem at school. You may have talked to your child’s teacher about this concern. The two of you may have written notes back and forth or talked on the phone. If it seems like nothing is happening to resolve your concern, then you may want to write a formal letter. Perhaps the informal communication hasn’t been as clear as you think. Maybe you feel that the seriousness of your concern isn’t fully understood. By writing a letter, the school will learn that you consider the matter to be an important one that needs to be addressed. You can write about any concern—an IEP issue, a general education issue, school-yard bullying, or the need to help your child’s social skills or improve behavior. There are no rules as to the type of problem you can write about. Any school problem is worth writing about if it is having a negative impact on your child and you need the school’s assistance to resolve it. Back to top General letter-writing tipsWhen writing any business letter, it is important to keep it short and to the point. First, start by asking yourself the following questions and state the answers in your letter:
Each letter you write should include the following basic information:
Back to top What are some other tips to keep in mind?You want to make a good impression so that the person reading your letter will understand your request and say “yes.” Remember, this person may not know you, your child, or your child’s situation. Keep the tone of your letter pleasant and businesslike. Give the facts without letting anger, frustration, blame, or other negative emotions creep in. Some letter-writing tips include:
Back to top Model LetterToday’s Date (include month, day, and year) Your Name Name of Principal Dear (Principal’s name), In this paragraph say who you are and give your child’s full name and current class placement. Say something positive about your child’s situation here, before you state your reason for writing. BRIEFLY, explain why you are writing. Give relevant history and facts that support your concerns. (For example, your 3rd grader is struggling in school and you want to ask for help. You might say that your child’s school work has been getting worse throughout the year. That fact is relevant. Something from your child’s infancy probably isn’t.) In this paragraph state what you would like to have happen or what you would like to see changed. You may BRIEFLY say what you would not like, or what has been tried and not worked. However, spend most of this paragraph saying what you want. Say what type of response you would prefer. For instance, do you need to meet with someone, do you want a return letter or email, or will a phone call be preferable? Finally, give your daytime phone number and state that you look forward to hearing from the person soon or give a date (“Please respond by the 15th”). End the letter with “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Sincerely, Your name cc: your child’s teacher Note: Back to top Would you like to read another letter?Discussing a problem Requesting a copy of your child’s records Requesting an evaluation for special education services Requesting an independent evaluation Requesting
