Using and adapting it

Letters to parents get read on a phone more often than on paper, so put the thing that matters in the first line and keep the whole letter to one page. Dates, amounts and reply-by deadlines belong in a list rather than buried in a paragraph — those are the lines people come back to a second time. Export a PDF and send it straight on; printed, it keeps the same layout.

Common questions

How do I send it to parents?

Export a PDF and send it on. The printed and on-screen versions keep the same layout, so nothing shifts on the recipient’s device.

What belongs at the top?

The thing that matters, in the first line — these get read on a phone more often than on paper. Dates, amounts and reply-by deadlines belong in a list; those are the lines people come back to.

Do I need to know LaTeX to use this template?

No. You edit it like an ordinary document — type, drag blocks, insert formulas from a visual keyboard. LaTeX only runs underneath to set the page, and you can still export the source if you want it.
