Dear Principal Carter,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you not just as a parent but as a partner in the educational journey of my son, Ethan Hansen, who is a third-grader in Mrs. Thompson’s class. It’s with a concerned heart that I reach out to discuss Ethan’s recent challenges in school, particularly in his reading and comprehension skills.

Over the past few months, Ethan has expressed increasing frustration with reading assignments and comprehension tasks. Despite our efforts at home, including nightly reading and educational activities, Ethan’s struggles have persisted, affecting his confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Understanding the critical importance of these foundational years, I am seeking your guidance and the possibility of additional resources or interventions that Springfield Elementary might offer to support Ethan’s development in these areas.

I am aware of the school’s commitment to fostering a supportive learning environment for every student and believe that with the right tools and support, Ethan can overcome these hurdles. Whether it’s through a reading intervention program, one-on-one tutoring, or any other resource you deem appropriate, I am eager to explore all options to ensure Ethan’s success.

I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and Ethan’s teacher to discuss this matter further and to develop a plan that addresses his needs. Please let me know a convenient time for such a meeting. Your expertise and understanding are invaluable to us, and I am hopeful that together, we can find a way to reignite Ethan’s passion for learning and help him achieve his full potential.

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your unwavering dedication to the students of Springfield Elementary. I look forward to your response and am ready to assist in any way possible to facilitate Ethan’s journey towards academic improvement.

Warmest regards,

Bryce Hansen
Father of Ethan Hansen
