We urge you to contact your child’s teacher when issues arise. Our experience shows very clearly that the most expedient and satisfactory solutions are achieved by direct contact between the parent and the teacher. If you are puzzled, worried or concerned about some aspects of our school program or policies or about your child’s school experience, tell the teacher. In the vast majority of cases, the parent and teacher will achieve a mutually satisfying solution. If necessary, the principal will be happy to assist. Here is the appropriate chain of communication you should follow when issues arise:
Teacher 🡪Principal 🡪Superintendent of Schools 🡪Board of Education
