CHANNELS OF COMMUNICATION
Who do you contact if you or your child has a question, idea, concern, or problem? The faculty and administration of the School wish to be as helpful and responsive as possible to both parents and students. The School encourages students and parents to seek the most appropriate channels of communication to answer any questions or requests, so that their needs may be quickly and easily met.
Using the School Channels of Communication. If a parent or student has a question on School academic programs, policies, or procedures, they should first speak with the classroom teacher. If the question is not resolved, the parent or student can speak with the Director or Principal who will work with the teacher to resolve the concern. If, for any reason the question or concern is still not resolved, the parent or student may write the School Grievance Committee. This committee, composed of parents, teachers, and Board members will meet to make the best collective determination about the area of concern and provide the decision in writing to the parent or student.
