Communication Procedures
Parents are the primary educators of their children, our students’ first and most important teachers. Teachers and staff at Incarnation Parish school seek to partner with our parents, a partnership than in many cases lasts over 10 years. Effective communication between the school, teachers, parents, and students is centrally important to that partnership.
School-Parent Communication
A "HomeMessenger" is emailed to parents and guardians weekly (includes a note from the principal, announcements, reminders, fliers and other schoolwide information). Parents can expect to from teachers regarding events, trips, assignments, and grades regularly. The Student Information System (SIS) called Gradelink. Gradelink is provides parent and student access to the gradebook (3rd-8th), keeps attendance records, sends emails and texts, and is a landing pad for other information. Parents should receive login information in mid-August via email.
Parents/guardians are responsible for checking student progress in Gradelink regularly, and are expected to read emails sent from the school and teachers. Timely response to phone calls (especially urgent ones dealing with health or discipline) is also expected. On occasion an automated phone/texting system will be used to relay important information. It is imperative that families notify the office immediately of any changes in contact information.
Anonymous Letters
The administration and faculty of Incarnation Parish School welcome parent and student input regarding school matters. However, parents are asked to follow the established channels of communication as published in the Parent-Student Handbook. School personnel will not acknowledge or address any issues made known through anonymous letter, phone call, or any other means of anonymous communication.
