A Sample Letter to the Teacher of
your child for religious accomodation
Dear Mr. Lucas :
I am the father of Samira Khan, a student in your grade four class.
As a Muslim, she is one of the millions of children in America
(Muslim, Christian, Jewish, etc.) whose religious needs must be
accommodated in public school.
Your role as Samiras teacher is crucial in ensuring she
develops academically and in a well-adjusted manner. This means
that her ability to function as a young Muslim is not compromised
while learning and growing academically.
This is why I would like to meet with you to discuss what President
Bill Clinton has instructed schools and teachers to do about the
religious needs of all students in America, and in particular,
Samiras needs as a Muslim student in your class. In the
long run, this will be of benefit to all students in your class
and at Belleview elementary school who require religious accommodation.
I would also like to seek your advice about the issue of religious
accommodation for Samira and her classmates.
If you can kindly contact me so that we may set up a meeting this
week or next week, it would be greatly appreciated. You may call
me at (123) 456-7890 in the daytime or (123) 012-3456 in the evenings.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time and
attention.
Sincerely,
Ahmed Khan
