Student Communication Email
Draft an email to a student that says what needs to be said, in writing, without becoming a five-paragraph defense of your grading. Use this skill when you are a K-12 or higher-ed teacher sending a note about a missing assignment, behavior concern, grade discrepancy, recommendation request, or a positive acknowledgment that should land in the family inbox. Produces a two-paragraph email with clear subject line, context, specific ask or next step, and closing tone appropriate to the relationship. Includes variants for parent-copy, CC-administrator, and student-direct recipients, plus a FERPA checklist so you do not accidentally disclose grades to the wrong adult. Written in plain English for busy readers.
