Dear [Principal’s Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding my recent contract renewal and to formally express my interest in the currently vacant permanent Grade * position at our school.
Over the past few years, my employment contracts have been issued for one-year durations. However, my recent contract was offered for only three months. As a dedicated member of the school community for nearly eight years, this abrupt change has left me with questions and uncertainties.
I would appreciate clarity on the following:
- Who made the decision to change the contract duration, and what were the reasons behind it?
- I recently graduated as a qualified teacher and hoped this would positively impact my contract terms.
Additionally, I am concerned about a conversation I overheard between the chairperson of the governing body and yourself, where decisions impacting me were mentioned. I believe I have the right to understand these decisions as they directly affect my employment and future at the school.
Regarding the permanent Grade * position, I am very interested in being considered. Although I may not possess all the necessary skills required for this position, Iam fully committed to acquiring the necessary skills to meet the school’s curriculum needs. Having been the Grade R teacher for these learners, I know their holistic development and unique needs intimately, and I share a strong relationship with their parents.
While I currently do not have Funda Wande training, I am willing to undertake the necessary professional development to ensure I meet the position requirements. My dedication to the school, combined with my positive teaching track record over the years, demonstrates my commitment to contributing meaningfully to the learners’ education and the school’s success.
I kindly request a meeting to discuss the matters raised in this letter. I look forward to receiving clarity about my contract situation and an opportunity to elaborate further on my suitability for the Grade * position.
Thank you for your time and understanding. I am confident that through open communication, we can find a resolution that aligns with the school’s goals and supports my professional growth.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
