Parents should call or send a note to set a mutually convenient time to conference when teachers can dedicate the appropriate time and focus to any concerns and problems. Informal talks may only generate unreliable “all is well" responses, particularly in public when other parents and children may be present and teachers may not be talk freely about a child to the parent.
All incoming phone calls to the school and parish require the caller to select an extension (! plus the room number). Every effort is made to answer calls immediately or to respond quickly to messages. Parents are asked to cooperate in limiting classroom disruptions to genuine emergencies only. Lunches, forgotten books and assignments, and messages about after-school pick-up arrangements will not be delivered to class. Students will be called to the office to retrieve items and to collect the message.
Parents are also able to send emails directly to teachers, who will respond within 24 hours.
