Parent - Teacher Conferences
Parent - Teacher Conferences are in the best interest of the child. Parents are strongly urged to meet with their child's teacher to learn about their child's academic and social progress. The teacher will arrange a mutually convenient time for the parents and teacher to converse, either in person or over the phone. At least two conferences will be conducted annually. In general, teachers are available from 7:30 to 7:55 AM and from 2:15 to 3:00 PM daily.
Most concerns can be worked out when parents and teachers work together for the welfare and interest of the child. This suggests that all problems discovered by parents or teachers should be discussed in a parent-teacher conference before the problems are brought to the attention of an administrator.
Resolution of Problems
Regular on-going communication between parents and school staff is imperative for the child’s success. Should a concern or problem arise, please contact the child’s teacher initially. If further assistance is required, please contact the appropriate support staff member. For aftercare issues, first contact the aftercare coordinator.
If the response to your question or concern does not meet your expectations, after you have met with the appropriate staff members, please email or call administration to set up an appointment.
