COMPLAINT LETTER 1

Dear Sir,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for doing such an excellent job as
principal at Jefferson Elementary. I know that the position and
responsibilities are difficult, but I hope that you might be willing to help
me reconcile an issue I'm having in the classroom.

My son's teacher, Ms. White, has refused to allow him to use a computer
for the writing portion of her tests. My son, Jeremy Green, has a
documented form of dyslexia that makes writing by hand difficult for
him. I have a signed note from several authorities stating that he will
perform better if he is allowed to type out his essays.

I am not asking for special treatment, but rather the proper equipment
for my son to do his best. There is a computer in the classroom, but Ms.
White has said that if she let Jeremy use it for tests that "other kids
would want to use it too." I do not want to cause friction in the
classroom, but this is detrimental to my son's academic future.

I would like to resolve this problem with as little friction as possible, but
Ms. White refuses to accommodate me in any way. I hope that you can
help us find a peaceful resolution quickly. Thank you.

Sincerely,

By: Mrs. Aardji Page 1

COMPLAINT LETTER 2

Dear Dr. Ingham,

Thank you for your service to Estacado Elementary. I realize that you have a
challenging job as an administrator. I think you are doing a great job, and I
commend you for your leadership of the school.
However, I am very upset about a situation in my son's first grade class. His
teacher, Mrs. Veazey, has repeatedly removed his recess privileges. For at least
six times in the past month, he has had to "sit out" from recess to finish his
classroom work. While I do understand that he needs to be more efficient, I feel
that his recess privileges should not be revoked.
As you may know, recess allows student to get exercise, build friendships and take
a break from classroom work. I feel that missing this time hinders his performance.
He needs the time to let out his energy, play, and socialize.
I have spoken with Mrs. Veazey about this on two occasions, March 18th and
March 25th. On both times, she has said that removing recess is necessary so that
he can finish his work. I do not agree with this.
I would like to speak with you regarding this matter. Perhaps we can find a different
solution that does not require removing his recess privileges. I will call you
sometime this week about this. Feel free to call me sooner at (342)333-1923.
Thank you for your time and attention to this issue.
Sincerely,
Valerie Omama
