  Case: Parents that are unresponsive
I have a Kindergartner student that I want to retain next year. She is not ready to move to first grade and the parents do not work with her at home either, as I have highly suggested. However, I have sent three emails, two letters home and left a voice mail to set up a parent-teacher conference. I have not heard one response from the parents. What else is left to do? How do I get these parents to care about their child's academic progress?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would keep documentation of your efforts to contact parents, and schedule the student to be retained. When her parents inevitably learn of it, you will have to documentation to prove your attempts to contact them, and explain that it was your professional judgement that she be retained. I would also keep documentation of the student's lack of progress as evidence to support your suggestions.
