Cooperation between parent and teachers is extremely important to the development of the child. The teacher or the parent may request conferences any time there is a need or concern. Requests for conferences by the parent should be made by a note or telephone call to the office. You are asked to make these in advance to allow for the necessary arrangements to be made.
Formal conferences are scheduled once during the school year; however, this does not limit parents or teachers in the amount of conferences that can be conducted. For grades K-5, formal conferences are held at the end of the first quarter. For Pre-K, formal conferences are held at the end of the second quarter. Problems requiring resolution - please surface problems first with the teacher. The principal is the next step if necessary.
In separated or divorced families, the custodial parent is responsible for sharing copies of the child's report card, progress report, etc.
