Parent-School Communication
Incarnation Parish School’s faculty strives to establish cooperative relationships with parents. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to speak with teachers about progress and concerns related specifically to their children. Frequent communication to clarify matters should take place as often as necessary. If you come to see the teacher for any reason, please check into the office first, then the office staff will see if they are available for a conference. Please don’t go to the classroom to speak to the teacher. They are busy with the children.
If a parent wishes to meet with a teacher, he/she should first contact that teacher by email or written notice and schedule an appointment. If a matter is not resolved after having attempted to address the concern with the teacher, the parent may then contact the principal. The principal will endeavor to mediate and resolve the matter. Please note that the principal should not be contacted about a teacher until the parent has first met with the teacher to discuss the concern. Parents should expect a reasonable response time of 24 hours after a message is sent (Please note that some teachers are on campus part-time and may take additional time to respond). Mornings before class begins are not appropriate times for conferences (unless an appointment has been confirmed) since teachers are preparing for the day ahead. Teachers should not be approached during afternoon carpool since their responsibility is to supervise students at that time.
