Your parent email: Concern: missing reading logs and group work, plus a quick call

Subject line options

Quick check-in about [Student]'s reading logs
Could we set up a quick call about [Student]?
[Student] in ELA: a quick update and a call next week

Short version (about 60-100 words)

Hi [Parent/Guardian],

[Student] is a strong reader and always brings great ideas to our class discussions.

I wanted to share two things I've noticed over the last two weeks. [Student] has missed 3 of 5 reading logs. During group work, they've also been talking over classmates about 3-4 times per class.

Could you check the reading log each night? I'd also love to set up a quick 15-minute call next week. I'm free Tuesday or Thursday after 3:15. Just let me know what works for you.

Thanks so much, Ms. Rivera

Hi [Parent/Guardian],

I wanted to reach out about [Student]. They're a strong reader, and they always have great ideas in our class discussions. It's a real strength.

Over the last two weeks, I've noticed two things I'd like us to work on together. First, [Student] has missed 3 of the last 5 reading logs. Second, during group work, they've been talking over classmates about 3-4 times per class.

In class, I've moved their seat and started using a quiet signal to help them pause. It's helping a little, and I think we can build on that.

Could you check [Student]'s reading log each night? That would be a big help.

I'd also love to set up a quick 15-minute call next week to make a plan together. You know [Student] best, and I'd love to hear what you're seeing at home. I'm free Tuesday or Thursday after 3:15. Just reply with a day and time that works, plus the best number to reach you.

Thanks so much, Ms. Rivera

Before you send

Swap in the parent's first name for [Parent/Guardian] and the student's name for [Student].
I used "they/them" for the student. Change the pronouns if you'd like.
You could add the actual dates for next Tuesday and Thursday so it's easier to reply.
If the parent may not know what the nightly reading log looks like, you could add one line on where to find it (for example, [where the reading log is kept]).
