To suggest a follow up after parents evening?

I had a parents evening for my son this evening which was very positive. He's doing very well in everything other than writing.
He's in reception and is August born so four and a half. His teachers have explained that apparently boys hand muscles and control develops later than girls, and with him being the youngest in the class they'd expect his writing to be as it is, however we need to work on his hand strength as much as possible.
I've got a plan in place to try and squeeze more one and one time with him when his younger siblings go to bed and do some fun activities together one on one to build his hand strength (kneading, threading etc). But would I be unreasonable in asking for a follow up meeting in maybe 6-8 weeks time to see if there's any improvement or if there's anything else we need to work on. Or if there's no improvement whether we need to look at some more one to one stuff in school?

I know he's 4. But I also know the leap from reception to year one is a big one and I want him to feel capable and confidant.

I would just send an email and expect a reply in the same format.

I don't think it would be a problem at all.

@Punta we don't have an email contact for his teachers. They do everything face to face

Does it need to be a meeting or would a chat over the phone be quicker and as productive?

Have a look on the school website as there may be an email address for the office or general enquiries. Send it to that and they will forward it to the member of staff. Phone calls and meetings can take up time when the teacher is already busy, but an email doesn’t. If you can’t find an email, ask him or her to call you back.

@Punta fab suggestion. I'm more than happy to email or chat on the phone etc. Whenever suits them. They're an amazing and proactive school.
I just don't want to drop the ball and then find he is even further behind in writing. I'm a nip it in the bud sort of person
