Re: [Students ] Classroom Conduct


Dear [Parents or Guardians],
[Summarize problem. Modify language as necessary.]
During recent classes, [Student] has exhibited numerous behaviors which have caused disruptions
within the classroom inhibiting the ability of other students to learn.
[List the specific instances of misbehavior.]
Specifically, [Student] continues to [e.g. talk to other students during class throughout the period,
and frequently will make telephone calls during class periods causing distractions for other
students]. In addition, on [date], [Student] [List other specific actions: e.g. brought certain items
into the classroom which would have been more appropriately left at home, and which disrupted
the lesson being taught that day.]
[List attempts to work with student for improvement. State any pertinent classroom and school
policies.]
School policy requires that students [e.g. not use their cell phones during class, and not create
disturbances during classes]. Classroom procedures further require students to [e.g. raise their
hands before speaking, and to work on course lessons while in class]. At each incidence I have
asked [Student] not to disturb the class, and to try to focus on [his/her] class work. However,
[Student] has continued to cause disruptions during class. On [date] I met with [Student] after
class to discuss the behavioral concerns, and [he/she] [Students response, e.g.: assured me that
[he/she] would try to improve [his/her] conduct and focus more on completing class work].
[Additional attempts, e.g.: We also agreed that [Student] would take a new seat in class the
following day which might allow [him/her] to focus more on studying.] While [Student] did
improve [his/her] behavior the following day, [he/she] has now continued to disturb other students
during this past week.
[Propose solution.]
As an alternative to referring [Student] to internal school administrators for disciplinary action, it
would be preferable to allow [Student] the opportunity to improve his/her behavior. I believe it is
important for [Student] to learn to be conscious of [his/her] behavior and to recognize when it may
be necessary to control [his/her] own actions. If it is convenient for you, I would like to ask if you
might be available to meet with me in order to discuss [Students] behavior habits, and to identify
ways in which we might help [Student] to understand the impact his/her actions may have on
[himself/herself] and on others. I am available for meetings during [times and days] and [other
times and days]. You are also welcome to contact me by email or telephone at the numbers given

below. Ensuring that [Student] has the ability and the opportunity to succeed in the course is
among my highest priorities.

Sincerely,
