This requires a united effort by teachers and parents. Teachers will, from time to time, send home brief notes, comments or observations. Teachers are always willing to discuss any problems or concerns after hours by phone or at school by appointment. We ask that you not try to engage in a lengthy conversation with them during arrival or departure times since this will significantly impact the flow of traffic. Parents are always welcome to visit as long as they clear it with their child’s teachers first.

• Parents will receive monthly Newsletters.
• Parents will receive classroom Newsletters periodically.
