Academic Concerns

Student and parental academic concerns (poor achievement, questions about assessments, grading, or effort marks, workload, assessment conflicts, etc.) should be directed to the classroom teacher. Students should attempt to advocate for themselves and contact the teacher directly, through email, or in person. Students can also ask for help from their advisor or the school counselor if they are feeling overwhelmed or feel they need some help in interceding with a classroom teacher. Chronic or unresolved concerns can be escalated to the Head of Middle School, either by the student, advisor, or parent, but generally concerns should first be directed to the classroom teacher.
