OP, is it actually a serious request/question? Teachers are busy and burnt out.

Email again saying this is the third time you’ve emailed in a week. Copy the principal. Sounds like the teacher needs some support.

You’re a principal? Maybe a troll? I would be so pissed if you were my admin. That’s not the type of support we need.

Seems like a reasonable step to me. The teacher has had two opportunities to reply. The admin above is probably correct and this teacher may need support.

You’ve missed two emails and haven’t responded. What should this parent do to get a response from you?

She may have missed it. Resend it. 24 hours is standard.

48 hours is reasonable, not 24. Most teachers will respond in 24, but 48 is reasonable.

That exact sort of follow-up email was already sent last Thursday afternoon.


Then send another follow-up email today. If you haven't heard anything by midweek, consider following up with the AP or school counselor, depending on the issue.
