● To the Principal,
● Subject: Problems encountered by the new students in school
● This report is going to discuss the problems faced by the new students. We will also explore a
few solutions to these problems to make starting at school easier for new students.
● It is very delightful to hear that many students are willing to join our school this year (2022).
However, the students are likely to face some problems during their initial days in school.
The sudden change in the environment is what makes the candidates uncomfortable. Map of
school facilities was missing. They do not feel a part of the institute. Moreover, approaching
teachers and students is even more difficult.
● To help the new students, we can conduct an assembly on the first day of school to introduce
the teachers and students. Furthermore, a warm-hearted welcome will give them a friendly
atmosphere which is likely to make them comfortable.

9. Cont…
● Simultaneously, all of this will bring some benefits to the students and the school.
Provision of school map facilitates the candidates to adjust to new surroundings
easily. The students will feel like a part of the institute and therefore, they will be able
to concentrate on their studies. Thus, producing good grades. Due to all this, the
reputation of the school is likely to enhance and the biggest achievement of a school
is the satisfaction of its students. Consequently, other students will also get admission
in this school.
● Overall, I hope that my recommendations will be taken into suggestions and they will
make starting at school easier. If you have any questions related to my suggestions, it
will be my pleasure to assist you.
● Yours faithfully,
● Aayan Umair
