These school results will help us improve classroom learning by identifying areas of relative strength and
weakness. In the coming weeks we will be developing action plans to enhance classroom learning.
If you have any questions about your childs results, I encourage you to contact your childs teacher from the
previous school year. The teacher will be able to provide details on the curriculum content that was covered on the
test. If you have any questions about our schools results, please feel free to contact me at XXX-XXXX.
Sincerely,
