Parents and Teachers

Parents are encouraged to communicate regularly with teachers. When parents want to meet with teachers, they should do so by making an appointment by note or by leaving a message in the office or on the teacher’s voice mail. Parents should not go to classrooms to meet with teachers without making prior arrangements with the teacher and after having checked in with the front office.

When a parent has a concern with a teacher, it should be discussed with the teacher first. A parent should not by-pass a teacher and go directly to the principal or pastor under normal circumstances. The parent, teacher, and principal will meet together if the concern is not resolved after the parent converses with the teacher. Parents are asked not to contact teachers at home unless the teacher requests otherwise.

When a teacher has a concern about a student, the parents will be notified by phone or note. Discussion of school concerns should be done outside of instructional hours so teachers can give their full attention to teaching and supervision. For this reason, parents are asked not to go to classrooms during school hours unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher.

Parents and Principal/School

Parents may call or visit the school office to make an appointment to visit with the principal. It is most helpful to plan appointments at least one day in advance.

Communications Sent Home

Many communications are sent home with students. Normally, notes are sent home with the oldest child in the family. Students are responsible and expected to give school communications to their parents promptly.

Items That Parents Deliver

Please do not take items directly to classrooms. Items that students forget and parents bring to school should be marked with the student’s name and left at the office for delivery.

Sending Money to School

Money sent to school for field trips, pictures, etc. (anything other than for the lunch program) should be sent with each student and not as a family. Cash or checks must be sent in a sealed envelope marked with the student’s name, grade, teacher, and what it is for.
