Total: ______108______ / 120

Intro letter: Your letter would read better if your second paragraph immediately followed your
introductory sentence so all of the “meeting you” information was together. The contact invitation
should go at the end. Nice personalization with your tie to the school and community.

E-mail: Remember to only capitalize proper nouns.

Field trip info: The assignment said all students must ride the bus. There is no opportunity for students
to ride home with a parent.

Permission slip: Good inclusion of emergency information.

Letter of concern: You asked the right questions with a great show of partnership.

Letter of appreciation: Beautifully written and genuine. I love the idea of a picture with her!

Newsletter: You have written a letter rather than a newsletter.

End-of-year letter: Great passion and sincerity.

May your holidays be the best!!!!
