COMMUNICATION


I strongly believe that the partnership between a teacher and a parent can greatly impact a child's success. Please know that you can always reach out to me with questions, comments or concerns; and I will do the same to you. Because we value the parent/teacher partnership in the education of your child, we host a variety of communication opportunities throughout the school year. Below, you will find some of the ways to communicate with me.

Parent Communication Meetings

We will host Parent Communication Meetings a variety of times throughout the year. You will find the sign up link listed on the homepage of this site and linked to the TL website. The link will be active 2 weeks prior to the communication meetings. Communicating with you is so important to me! My goal is to facilitate open communication between home and school.

At Turtle Lake, we offer several opportunities throughout the year for teachers and parents to discuss your child's academic and social progress. You can choose the day and time that works best for you. I encourage you to sign-up one time in the Fall/Winter - Semester One (November or December) and one time in the Winter/Spring - Semester Two (February or April).

Part of Turtle Lake's communication plan includes:

  • Offering you a time that is convenient and meaningful

  • Providing six times throughout the year

  • Encouraging you to come with a question or concern in mind

I look forward to meeting with you!
