Parent correspondence

Dear Ms. Sweetland,

I am very concerned that Taylor has not been getting any homework. Why don't you send home work so I can reinforce what is being done at school?

Dear Mrs. T.,

Thank you for your note. Taylor does receive homework Mondays through Thursdays in the form of the assignment of reading for 30 minutes. She also has to write me one letter a week regarding her reading. However, I understand your concern about reinforcing other skills. Can we talk by phone? I'll call you before the week is out.

Yours in service,

Ms. Sweetland

Dear Ms. Sweetland,

Reading is not homework. Does the principal know you are making the kids read every night?
