Transporta*on Changes ~ Please send a note with your child if you know that they will
have a transportaon change before your child leaves for school. This is the best way to get a
change to your child’s teacher. We ask that you do this instead of calling or sending an email,
as we may miss an email before dismissal me, and calling is for emergencies only. When
sending a note with your child, please include your child’s first and last name and home room
teacher wri!en clearly. Please also include your first and last name, signature, and a phone
number wri!en clearly so that we may call you if we have any quesons. Thank you for your
assistance in making this process run smoothly!
Parent Conferences ~ Please contact your child’s teacher if you need a conference
about your child’s progress. Teachers are available to answer any quesons or address any concerns that you may have about class work, homework, grades, behavior, etc. Teachers are available by email, or you can call the front office to
leave a message for them to call you back. Our hope is that open communicaon
lines will make for a be!er educaonal experience for everyone.
