Orientation Meetings

Back-to-School night will be scheduled for all parents during the first month of school. All parents are expected to attend. It is an opportunity for them to meet their child’s teacher, visit the classroom, talk to other parents, and find ways to become involved. These meetings are designed for teachers to explain basic curriculum and behavioral policies, goals and procedures for the year.

Parent - Teacher Conference

Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled once a year. All parents are required to attend the fall conference in order to establish a good pattern of communication. To accommodate schedules of working parents, special appointments can be made with the teacher. Conference appointment times will be assigned approximately two weeks prior to conferences. Parents will need to confirm or reschedule assigned times. Both parents and teachers are urged to contact each other whenever questions and/or concerns arise. Requests for additional conferences during the school year will be honored. Such conferences are scheduled by sending a written request, e-mail, or by phone to the classroom teachers, or the school office. Please be considerate and refrain from conferring with a teacher who is on duty during pick-up, drop-off, or recess.

Appointments

Appointments with school personnel must be arranged in advance. Contact the school office to request a meeting; staff will assist you.

Report Cards

Report cards will be issued quarterly - November, January, April and June. Students are graded for academic progress and social growth.

Avoid comparing grades with that of other students. Only your child and his teacher can answer your questions. Please contact the teacher whenever you desire more information about your child’s progress. Report cards are confidential between teacher, parent and student.
