Communication

At times, it may seem difficult to contact the principal. Because of commitments to supporting students and classrooms, the office is not a common place to find the principal. However, the opportunity to talk with parents is of utmost priority. If you’d like to talk by phone, or would like an appointment, please indicate to the office secretary that you are a parent, and give a brief explanation of your concern. Phone calls will generally be returned within 24 hours.

The administrative assistant or an office assistant is available to take calls from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Teachers are not available to take phone calls during instructional time; please be prepared to leave a message. Students will be allowed to use the office phone for school business with the approval of his/her teacher. Arrangements for transportation home or requests to go home with a friend need to be discussed before a child leaves home in the morning, not after school on the phone.

Bridger uses the Class Dojo communications app to stay informed and connected with families. Class Dojo is a convenient way to receive notifications, messages, events, photos and student progress. We expect families to register and download the app so they can take advantage of the full range of functionality, stay connected and receive student progress information.

Teachers will periodically send notes home as will the front office. Many teachers have established a set schedule to send home folders and information. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s teacher or the principal. If a problem arises, you are encouraged to talk to your child’s teacher first to gain full perspective of the problem. If you are aware of a serious situation at Bridger, please contact the principal directly at kandice.goodman@loganschools.org. Parent link is also used for communication between the school and parents. You can access the message board on-line: https://loganschools.parentlink.net/

Parent conferences with the teacher may be scheduled any time during the school year by either the parent or the teacher to discuss individual concerns. Appointments should always be made with teachers so that conferences can be private and objective.
