HOW TO EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE WITH SCHOOL OFFICIALS
-
Parents are often discouraged when they attempt to communicate with Central Office administrators and are sent back to building-based officials in order to resolve a problem their child may be experiencing in school. To prevent that frustration, parents can become informed about the “Chain of Command”, or where to begin the communication sequence. Many parental questions are easily and completely answered by communicating directly with the educator in charge of the class or program. Each situation should first be addressed at whatever level the initial action was taken with appeals moving on to the next level of the chain of command. The easiest way to communicate is via email; email addresses can be found on the Directory page. A phone call would be the next preferable way to communicate.
