Beginning of the school year… and beyond – a letter from a parent

Aug 23, 2006 • Middle School

Another letter from a parent of an Oxford Learning student. The new school year is almost here and now is the time to give some thought to strategies to ensure your child has the best school start possible.

Dear Oxford Learning teachers,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you wonderful teachers for doing such and excellent job with my daughter Isabelle.

At the beginning of this school year Isabelle was struggling tremendously in school. He reading, writing, and comprehension were not at grade level, and she was finding it difficult to grasp new ideas and concepts. She was quickly falling behind in all school subjects, even by the end of the first month!

By October I had enrolled Isabelle with Oxford Learning. I have always wanted the best for my child, as education is a very important issue. I had heard many positive remarks about your program and felt it was worth a try. The results were very pleasing.

As school went on, I noticed remarkable progress with Isabelle’s schoolwork and self-esteem. Her grades have improved and her confidence has grown to a new level, both socially and academically. She works very hard in school and is no longer struggling as before. Overall, she is a much happier grade four student!
