Teacher Change Process

Our faculty & staff values parental feedback, providing teachers the opportunity to collaborate with families & target student needs. Our goal is to improve practices through collaborative efforts from all parties. 

If a parent is experiencing a concern with a specific teacher, please initiate next steps below:

1. Parents - please reach out to the teacher of concern and coordinate a phone call and/or in-person meeting with the teacher. 

• This is a great opportunity for parents to advocate for their student as well as, understand the observations of the teacher. 

2. Our Admin and Counseling team requests that during this collaboration, parents and the teacher create a proactive plan together which includes: 

• Steps the teacher, student, and parent can take to address concerns.

• Our expectation is for families to initiate open communication between teachers, to improve gaps of concerns first - before a teacher change request is reviewed.

3. After creating a plan, if parental concerns continue after 2 weeks, then parents may submit a Teacher Change form to their assigned Administrator.

• Please ensure you list on your form, detailed efforts of what actions or steps were taken to address concerns and what specific concerns continue to remain. 

• This paper form will be reviewed by an Administrator. If  your Principal approves of the change, they will notify your Counselor who will update you once your schedule has been changed.

*Please note, due to limited schedule ability, teacher changes may not be a direct swap. It may result in changing multiple electives, periods, lunches, or current teachers to accommodate a new teacher. Thank you for your support and collaboration!
