Dear _________________, I’m writing because I have some concerns about ________________ progress in Math. From what I can see, they are really struggling with the material, and frankly, I’m not sure they’re getting the support they need in the classroom. Their confidence is dropping, and they’ve been frustrated with the assignments coming home. Is there something I’m missing? I would appreciate some clarity on how they are performing during class time, and what steps are being taken to address these issues. Are there specific reasons why ___________________ seems to be falling behind, and what are you doing to ensure they’re getting back on track? I look forward to your response and hope we can address this quickly Ms. Smith After reading this email craft your response and send it Steve and Adam
