This printable script pack is for caregivers who want to talk with teachers about behavior without freezing, rambling, or leaving the conversation thinking, “I wish I had said that.”

Written by Kelly Landry, PhD, BCBA-D, this caregiver resource blends the science of behavior with real school life. The language is compassionate, clear, and focused on cooperation between home and school.

Inside this 9-page PDF, you will find:

• A brief guide on how to use scripts while still sounding like yourself

• An email template for introducing your child to a new teacher

• An email template for checking in when you notice a problem

• An email template for requesting a meeting about your child

• A checklist of questions to ask during teacher meetings

• An “About My Child” starter form you can share with school staff

• A gentle closing page to remind you that you and the teacher are on the same team

Each section includes short teaching blurbs for caregivers plus ready-to-use phrases you can read, copy, and adapt to your own voice.

This Toolkit is helpful for:

• Parents and other caregivers who feel nervous or unsure about emailing teachers

• Caregivers who want to keep school communication respectful and specific

• Professionals who want a simple handout to recommend to families
