Retention Letters
If you are a teacher of elementary students, you know how important the early years are. And if you have ever recommended that a student repeat a year in school, you know how emotional and stressful that process can be both for you and the parents. Use these letters to ease some of that stress. Just insert names and change specifics as needed for your school. This is a letter to send after the first semester and another to send before the 4th quarter of school.
