Hi [school name].

I am writing because we would like to move our son to another school.

He is in 3rd grade and the teachers say that he is doing well with his homework, but we still don’t think that it is going very well at this school.

We would like to know if he can change to your school. Do you have a place at your school? And can I get to know more about the school?

Kind regards

Peter Nielsen .alert[or] Mohammad Osman
