Ask the parent whether the student is aware of the problem! Be honest! Emphasize specific data! Tell the parent specifically what will be done to deal with the problem!

Parents

Working parents are often unable to attend school events during the day. In addition, evenings are the only time these parents have to spend with their children, and they may choose to spend time with their family rather than attend meetings at school.
