= We want families to be informed about school. We believe that open communication and problem-solving is part of the information sharing we do. =

If you have a concern about your child, the first thing to do is to contact the child’s teacher. If there is still a concern, it is appropriate to contact the building principal, and following that, you may possibly want to contact the Superintendent. This chain of communication helps us resolve issues and keeps everyone part of the conversation in a productive way.

** TEACHER CONTACT/CONFERENCES **
There can be no substitute for firsthand student/parent/teacher communication. **Teachers welcome your comments and input at any time**. We will hold parent-teacher conferences in October/November and March/April to discuss progress and set goals. Teachers also communicate with parents and guardians through face-to-face meetings, telephone calls, text messages, and e-mail. We are making an effort to send notices and newsletters through e-mail when possible. Please provide your child’s teacher with your email address at our Meet-and-Greet Night before school begins.

** GREEN HOME-SCHOOL FOLDERS **
Each child is given a plastic folder that is used for important notices and schoolwork. **This folder will be sent home each time there is important information to share**. Please look for this folder each day and review the contents with your child. **Return the folder the next day, even if it is empty, so it is available to be filled again**. ConnectEd is a program with a recorded phone message that calls all parents and families at the same time. **We call parents using ConnectEd for school closings and important events/reminders**. **Please make sure that parent/guardian phone numbers and email addresses are updated in our school office if your contact information changes during the school year**.
