Visiting the School

Parents are welcome to visit the school at any time, but are requested to make prior arrangements with the school office. During the school day, no one may go to a classroom without the previous permission of the Principal or her designee.

 

For the safety of students who may be at recess, please park adjacent to the school building.

 

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Our teachers welcome the opportunity to discuss children progress with parents. We suggest the following points to help produce a harmonious parent-teacher relationship:

  • Conferences are mandatory at the end of the first term. These conferences will be scheduled in advance by the school office.
  • Additional conferences should be scheduled in advance at a time convenient to both teacher and parent. To schedule a conference, please contact the teacher or call the school office.
  • Conferences and/or telephone conversations with the teachers will not be held during class time. In consideration to the teacher's family life, calls should never be made to the teacher's home.

 

Problem Solving

It is important that parents withhold judgment on what appears to be a grievance until all facts are gathered. Discuss the problem with the teacher involved first. Arrange a conference as soon as possible so that the problem can be quickly solved. If necessary, contact the Principal. When in doubt regarding a school regulation, please contact the principal.
