Letter to Parents

On the first day of school, I will give a letter to my pupils' parents to formally introduce myself and tell them my expectations and what to expect in the school year. I managed to find the letter that I sent at the beginning of year 2009. Some confidential details have been deleted. If you are having the writer's block, feel free to take a look at the letter. It may give you an idea for your own letter to parents.

Dear Parents/Guardians,


I am (Name) and I will be your child’s form teacher till the end of this school year, 2009. I would like to express my congratulations to you and your child for his/her good academic performance in 2008.

2009 will be a transition year for your child as he/she will be taking an additional core subject (Science), participating in co-curricular activity (CCA) and attending supplementary class. I believe that with good time management and constant revision, your child will be able to cope well with the additional responsibilities that he/she is entrusted with.

I have given a copy of the students’ expectations, class timetable, student profile form and profile analysis form (Getting to know you!) to your child. I would appreciate it if I could receive the forms on Monday, 5th January 2009.

It gives me great pleasure to work with you to help your child scale greater heights in his/her studies. I believe that every pupil in (Class) has a unique set of talents and abilities, and I shall be working closely with you to help your child maximize his/her potential.

Feel free to contact me in school at ___________. The best times to reach me are after 10.00 a.m. You could also email me at ________________________.

Thank you.


Yours sincerely,
