I hope this letter finds you well, I am Mr. Deffner, John’s social studies teacher at Cocopah
Middle School. I am writing to you as I wish to bring to your attention some specific academic
struggles that John is having in my 4th period social studies class. John rarely completes
assignments, assignments that are turned in are often incomplete, or lacking a considerate
amount of effort. When students are given time in class to work on assignments John frequently
starts conversations with his peers, distracting each other from the work at hand. These behaviors
and disruptions are preventing John from receiving the grades he will need to pass his social
studies class. I have below, a few steps I wish to implement with you to help John focus on his
work, so that he may pass my class, and receive the information he will need in future social
studies classes.
