Problem

Jimmy is at risk of not receiving the grade he deserves in class due to not turning homework assignments in on time. The teacher outlines in the letter that according to the class syllabus, homework must be turned in on the due date to receive full credit, and late work will only be accepted one day late unless an excused absence is provided. While Jimmy engages well in class discussions, that effort is lost when it comes to completing homework assignments by the deadlines. The teacher invites the parents to further discuss solutions to the problem so that Jimmy can finish the semester with an A if this issue is resolved.

Dear Mr. and Mrs.

Smith,
I hope all is well with you and your family. As I mentioned before I
want to promote high levels of communication between Jimmy, you,
and myself. By keeping my promises I have felt it was necessary to
write you regarding Jimmys Grade, more specifically his lack of turning
homework in on time. Jimmy is a pleasure to have in class and he
expresses his understanding by being one of the most engaged
students during class time. That being said, that effort and love for my
class is lost somewhere between one days class and the next. I do not
assign homework everyday, to simulate classes found in higher
education, college, classes so the homework I do assign is expected to
be done on time and with full effort. Jimmy is at risk of not receiving
the grade he deserves due to the procedures outlined in the syllabus
given and signed by everyone in the beginning of the year. It states:
Homework must be completed and turned in on time for full credit,
any assignment turned in after class on the due date will automatically
receive a deduction of 50%, and, Late work will only be accepted one
day after the assignment is due, unless an excused absence has been
made then you will have up to the amount of days you miss to
complete the assignments,. Like mentioned before Jimmy has proven
that he is understanding the concepts and does well in class but in
order for him to achieve the grade he deserves, he must commit to
completing every assignment from now until the end of the semester. I
hope we can further discuss this matter, either in person or via email,
in order to create a reasonable solution to this problem. I believe in
Jimmy and his abilities to ensure that if this is fixed he will finish this
semester with an A in my class.
The best time to reach me is from 3-4pm Monday-Friday due to
my role as head coach for the Wrestling team here at DHS. If this does
not work for you I periodically check my emails between class periods,
on my prep, as well as later in the evening; please give me 24 hours to
respond to your emails as they might come in bunches. Below is my
contact information:
Phone: (925) 888-8888 ext. 6043
Email: [email protected]
Best,

Tyree Owens
