Communication between parents and teachers is imperative for student success. Parents are encouraged to email teachers or call the teacher’s extension and leave a message during school hours while instruction is taking place. Parents are asked to set up a phone or in-person meeting via email. Email correspondence is not for personal or in-depth conversations and should always be in a respectful tone addressing our professional educators, especially during the school day, when a teacher’s time is reserved for tending to the education and care of children. There should never be parent/teacher meetings held during instructional time when students are seated in classrooms waiting for instruction, or during carline drop off or pick up.
Teachers will get back to you about your concerns within 24 hours. This 24-hour policy does not include weekends. Teachers days off are Saturday and Sunday. Please do not expect a response from teachers on weekends. If you call leave a message on Friday, teachers will get back to you sometime on Monday. If you leave voice messages for teachers, they will check it after the school day
