Parent Contact Template 1 – The Phone Call

“Hello… Mrs. Whatever? Yes, It’s Braden’s French teacher, Mr. Slavic. Listen, I’m calling from my French class and Braden is here with the other students and he is having some difficulty with his behavior…what?… oh yes, right now in class! I don’t like to put things off and your son is really having a hard time understanding the expectations in French class this year. We really need to talk. Just one request for tonight – please ask Braden to explain those expectations to you. I will give him a sheet right now explaining them and the two of you can go over them so we don’t have to let this thing get out of hand. (Ed. note: this sheet is a print out of the Classroom Rules poster found at https://benslavic.com/Posters/classroom-rules.pdf). I can’t teach French if Brandon is busy trying to distract everybody by speaking English, right? Thank you! I’ll talk to Braden tomorrow to see how it went tonight as the two of you talk about the expectations in French class this year. And thank you for your interest in supporting Lincoln High School!”
