    Dear [STUDENT_FIRST_NAME],

     

    I hope you are having a great day. I just wanted to let you know that I see your hard work in [COURSE_NAME] to catch up. I can't believe you have done at least [ATTENDANCE_LAST_7_DAYS] minutes this week! I am so proud of you. If you keep this up the rest of semester, I know you will complete the course!

     

    Please feel free to let reach out to me if you have any questions.

     

    Warmly,

    [SIGNATURE]
