Dear Ms./Mrs./Mr. [Name of Teacher]:

I am concerned about a new development with [Child? Name], who has been returning home from school in a despondent mood. When I ask her/him what is wrong, she/he reports that she/he no longer wants to go to school because she/he hates it. This is quite a shock to me, as [Child? Name] has always loved school. I would like to schedule an appointment for a conference with you to discuss this current situation.

Please call me at home, [home phone number), or at the office, [office phone number], at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
[Signature]

[Your Name]
