I have heard great things about your leadership and the positive learning environment you foster at [School Name], and I am excited for my child to be part of this community.

After much consideration and discussions with fellow parents, I would like to respectfully request [Preferred Teacher’s Name] as [Child’s Name]’s teacher for the upcoming year. My decision to request [Preferred Teacher’s Name] stems from their reputation for [mention reasons, e.g., “nurturing creativity and critical thinking,” “providing support for students’ individual needs,” etc.], qualities that I believe will greatly benefit [Child’s Name] both academically and personally.

[Child’s Name] has shown a keen interest in [mention any relevant interests or areas where the child needs support], and I am confident that being in [Preferred Teacher’s Name]’s class would provide a stimulating environment that encourages growth in these areas. [You can add a sentence about any particular challenges your child faces, if applicable, and how the teacher’s approach can help.]

I understand that class assignments are complex and that many factors go into your decisions. While I hope you will consider my request, I also trust your judgment and the school’s process in assigning teachers. My primary goal is to ensure [Child’s Name] has a productive and happy school year, surrounded by supportive teachers and peers.

Thank you very much for considering my request. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Contact Information] if you wish to discuss this further. I appreciate your time and all that you do for [School Name]’s students and families.
