What can you do if you don't agree with how a teacher is handling a problem? First, try talking with the teacher. There may be another side of the story you haven't heard. It's best to avoid putting down the teacher in front of your child. Why? Your child may develop a negative attitude toward school. Instead, you can teach respect by working with the teacher - together you can come up with a great solution. 11/28/05
CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER?
Parents, it is critical that the school office have current information on each child, particularly in the even of an emergency. Has your work location or phone number changed? Have you changed baby-sitter? Do we have an emergency contact for your child in case a parent cannot be reached? Please keep the office informed if you have moved or had a phone number change.
