Prompt
Help me write a message to a parent or guardian.
What it's about (a positive update, an academic concern, a behavior issue, an absence, a request for a meeting): {{purpose}}
What happened / what I want to convey — the facts: {{details}}
Grade level, and the tone I want (warm, professional, straightforward): {{grade_and_tone}}
How I'm sending it (email, note home, message app): {{channel}}
Please draft a message that:
- Opens on a **respectful, partnering note** — parent and teacher on the same team, working for the student.
- States the point **clearly and factually** — what I observed or what's happening — without labeling, diagnosing, or judging the child.
- For a concern, pairs it with **something positive** and a **constructive path forward** (what we'll try, what support looks like, how they can help).
- Ends with a clear, warm next step or invitation to talk.
Use only the facts I gave you — don't invent incidents, grades, or details, and don't speculate about the child's home life or make clinical/diagnostic claims (that's not our role). Keep it professional enough to stand as a record. This is a draft for me to review and adjust to the family. If key facts are missing, ask before drafting.
