Communication procedures:

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Should problems, concerns, or situations arise regarding a child, the following contact procedures should be followed:  

1. Parent with teacher/Teacher with parent  

2. Parent/Teacher with Administrator  

3. Parent/Teacher with the Archdiocese  

Open communication with all parties at school is a valued approach to ensure that each student is set up for success, both academically and socially. Email communication is a useful tool in assisting with this open communication, but oftentimes face to face conferencing is the best practice. Teachers are available by appointment on school days between 7:30-7:45am and 3:15-3:30 pm or at a specific time set up by the teacher.  

Formal Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled during the first trimester of the school year. Although there is only one set of designated parent-teacher conferences, parents are encouraged to continue open communication with the teachers throughout the year. Students in grades fourth-eighth will attend these Formal Parent-Teacher Conferences.  

Parent Conduct

Every parent, student, and employee of Our Lady of Lourdes has a moral and ethical obligation to build up the school community and therefore speak in an appropriate manner both on and off campus. Posting inappropriate comments about the school, its personnel or students on the web or via e-mail does not constitute following the appropriate chain of communication. Negative and unhealthy communication about Our Lady of Lourdes School, the employees, and/or the students by a parent or guardian may result in the Principal asking the parents to withdraw their child from Our Lady of Lourdes School.
