Teachers are expected to establish and maintain contact with the families of each student they teach. If parents call the office and ask for a staff member to return a call, it is expected that the employee will return the call within 24 hours. Similarly, staff members should respond to written notes as soon as possible. When a parent requests a conference, a conference should be arranged. Telephone conferences are acceptable.

Any teacher who desires and individual parent conference should contact the parent, use sound judgment to resolve any dispute with parents, and to treat all parents respectively. Teachers may ask the Chief Administrative Officer (Principal) to participate in a parent conference.

In order to maximize student growth, at the end for the first quarter, teachers will meet with parent/guardian and student to develop an Individual Learning Plan. This plan will identify student’s strengths and challenges and will outline specific ideas to help the student achieve. Teacher, parent/guardian and student will sign the plan as their commitment to fulfill its goals.
