If you have questions or concerns regarding your child’s experience at school, the following steps are recommended: • If the concern involves the class teacher or your child, speak to the teacher directly. All teachers welcome parents to promptly address any issue, large or small. • If the concern involves a specialty teacher, speak directly to the specialty teacher involved. If concerns persist, speak to the Director. All teachers can be reached by • email or by calling the office. The teacher will return your call as soon as possible. Individual class teachers may inform parents of specific hours during which they welcome direct calls at home. • If the concern involves another member of the community, please see the following guidelines for building a ‘conscious community.’ These guidelines were developed through several meetings between class parents in an effort to ensure a healthy learning environment of the children.
