Resolution of Student or Parent Concerns

Preamble

Open communication and maintaining positive relationships between families, schools, and the School District is always our goal, and is key to ensuring student success. 

When concerns arise, it is important to keep the lines of communication open.  When issues occur at school, school staff will contact parents to inform and discuss the issues with them. 

When a parent has a concern, it is important the matter is discussed as early and directly as possible so it can be resolved in a timely fashion. Most issues can be resolved through timely, open communication.
