Dear Parent or Guardian of ___________________________________:

I am very disappointed in your child’s academic performance on the attached social studies quiz.  Too often, kids hurry through their work without making any real effort.  This quiz is open book and it is based on the same vocabulary words the students have previously written in their social studies notebook.  How could anyone fail these quizzes?  Many kids take their time and get an easy A, but some seem more intent on being the first one done. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this note by signing below, and let me know if you would like to schedule a conference.  We need to develop a plan to help your child get organized and motivated.  Thanks for your support.

Please observe the following topics which represent the areas in which your child is experiencing difficulties:  

AREAS OF CONCERN

_____ Excessive talking                              _____ Disturbs others

_____ Lack of effort                                     _____ Inattentive

_____ Disrespectful to others                     _____ Bad attitude

_____ Excessive tardies                             _____ Excessive absences

_____ Not prepared for class                     _____ Does not complete work on time

_____ Incomplete assignments                  _____ Missing assignments

_____ Low test scores                                _____ Request parent conference

_____ Excessive detentions                       _____ Inappropriate materials (toys, etc)

_____ Is failing at this time                          _____ D grade at this time

If you have any questions, please e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at 368-4974.

Sincerely,

Robert Ferguson, Ed.D.
