An important aspect of the instructional program of the school is reporting student progress to parents. The goal is to communicate as often as is necessary and as effectively as possible with the parents of each child, and to encourage parents to communicate with the school.
The district's formal reporting system includes report cards and/or forms developed by the professional staff and issued periodically, scheduled conferences between parents and teachers, and interim reports issued as needed or required. Parents are urged to visit the school and to confer with guidance counselors and teachers as deemed necessary.
Staff members are urged to maintain informal contact with parents through telephone calls and notes.
