Suppose you are the teacher of a middle/high school student who has not been turning class assignments and is failing your class. Write an email message to the student's parents outlining the situation. Request a conference with the parents to discuss possible solutions. This should be professional as you are communicating with a parent. Use Mr. and Mrs. Jones as the name of the parents with whom you are communicating. Needs to be at least two paragraphs with a minimum of five sentences per paragraph. Paragraph 1 is outlining the situation, which may need to be more than five sentences. Paragraph 2 is to request a conference; it may also need to be more than five sentences.

Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Jones,

Hope you are doing well in these challenging times. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that (child’s name) has not been turning in the required assignments for this quarter and currently has a failing average. As of today, he/she has (whatever #) missing assignments. This surprises me because I know (child’s name) has shown the potential to be an A student in this class.

At your earliest convenience, I would like to schedule a conference to discuss (child’s name) progress in this class and possible solutions to get his/her grades back within passing range. Once more, I do believe that (child’s name) is capable of succeeding in this class if they were to show more effort. I am aware that the situation we are in has been hard on everyone, myself included. I’m always available between (office hours) on (these days). Please feel free to reach out if you or (child’s name) has any further questions or concerns, and please let me know when you are available so we can schedule a conference. Thank you so much for your time on this matter; hope to hear from you soon!

Best regards, (teachers name)
