Elementary Parents
– If you
have a question or concern, the best place to start is your
child’s teacher. If the issue cannot be resolved at that level,
you should then contact the principal or assistant principal.
Secondary Parents -
If you
have a question or concern about something that occurred in a
class, please contact the specific teacher. If your issue
involves student discipline, please contact the assistant
principal’s office. For all other issues, the guidance
department is probably the best place to start. If the issue
cannot be resolved at that level, you should then contact the
school principal.
