How to write a Letter to Parents
As a teacher, one of the most difficult parts of your job is working with parents. 1. Writing a letter to parents is one way to do this. If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.
·Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem. 2. Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin（言辞）, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is “start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”.
·Share the problem with the parents. Express your concern and desire to help. 3. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution to the problem.
·4. You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. If you do not hear from them, you should call them. Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.
·Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student. Some students will intentionally forget to give the letter to their parents, while others will accidentally or purposely lose the letter. 5.
A. Ask for a response.
B. Respect parents and never quarrel with them.
C. Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.
D. Sending it in the mail makes it more certain that it will be received.
E. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may hate this action.
F. You can do this by pointing out a little progress the child has made recently.
G. With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home.
