RE: Mary Jones, First Grade - DOB 1/8/2016

Dear Mrs. Martinez,

I am writing to request a comprehensive evaluation for Special Education services for my daughter, Mary Jones. Please provide an assessment plan for signature.

I am particularly concerned with Mary’s progress with reading and speech. A full assessment in all areas of suspected disability will be helpful.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at Kathy@memail.com or (310) 333-300I.

Sincerely,
Kathy Jones
