Cool Translation needed for my students' parents

I need to write a short note to my students' parents about missing homework, and there are just too many words that I do not know. Could someone check and correct this? Please?? And thank you!

La tarea es una parte muy importante de la educación de su hijo. Su hijo no ha completer sus tareas y esperaba podrias ayudar. Su hijo necessita completer sus tareas al todos. Si no comprende, haga su major esfuerzo y haga que su hij ayuda en la escuela. Gracias por su ayuda. Por favor contacto la maestro de su hijo con preguntas.

Could you provide the English version of what you want the note to say, please?
There are places where the meaning is unclear.

Hi EChilders,

Could you show us the original version? (What you would say in English). In this way, we'll translate properly.

Edit: Crossposted with Rusty.

A pleasure.

Ha, I found my book, Spanish for Educators and it had many of the phrases I needed. So this is what I ended up with...much better I do believe.

La tarea es una parte muy importante de la educación de su hijo/hija. Es necessario que su hijo/hija haga la tarea todos los días. La tarea se da para saber si los alumnos entendieron la lección y ayudar a los alumnus a entender y repasar lo que yo expliqué en clase. Espero que me pueda ayudar y anime a su hijo/hija a hacer la tarea todos los días y entrgue la tarea.
Consejos útiles:
· Establezca una hora regular para estudiar y hacer la tarea.
· Mientras su hijo/hija estudia, al televisor debe estar apagado y no se debe permitir ninguna otra distrcción.
· Si es possible, asegúrese de que su hijo/hija tenga un área de studio tranquila y cómoda, con luz suficiente para estudiar y hacer la tarea.

Gracias por su ayuda,

Homework is a very important part of your child’s education. It is necessary for your child to do homework every day. Homework is given in order to know whether the students understood the lesson and to help students understand and review what I presented in class. I hope that you can help me and encourage your child to complete the homework every day and turn in the homework.
Helpful hints:
· Establish a regular time for studying and doing homework.
· While your child is studying, the television should be turned off and any other distractions should not be allowed.
· If possible, make sure that your child has a quiet, comfortable, well-lit study area to study and do homework.

Thank you for your help,

There are still some mistakes, mostly typographical. It may be that the typos are a result of transcription. Would you like us to correct them?

There you go!

Hi again EChilders,

Notice that Rusty's correction does not include "hijo/hija" because it's a stupid "politically correct politeness".

I, maybe for being a Spanish-speaking person and also a writer, tend to make up longer sentences than the ones in English. In addition, so much "hacer la tarea" kills me... By the way, in Spain we use "deberes".
