Dear XXXXXXX:

 

Thank you for your assistance in preparing the evaluation plan for my child. I look forward to completion of the evaluation and I look forward to your report.

 

Would you please provide a copy of the report to me as soon as it is available? This will allow me sufficient time to review the results prior to any meeting that determines my child’s eligibility for special education services.

 

Thank you very much for your kind assistance. I look forward to working with you and your staff.

 

Sincerely,
