A FOUR STAR EXEMPLARY STATUS SCHOOL

 

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Melba Wilderman, Principal

               Last month we began another year of shared responsibility in building Christian values and educational skills in the young people God has placed in our care.  This partnership between parents and school staff is the fundamental reason for the success of our students.  Your ideas, your cooperation in helping within the school, and your support are greatly appreciated.  Thus, communicating with each other is very important.  How we communicate sends a powerful message to the other individual. It is important that all of us communicate in an effective manner.  To that end, I offer the following suggestions as a means of better communication with the school office, your child’s teacher, and myself.

       OFFICE:  If you must call the office, please identify yourself.  Even though we recognize all families by sight, it is a little more difficult to recognize voices  over the phone.  We are always willing to recognize an error on our part and will do our best to correct those errors whenever possible.  And be patient with us, with  than one hundred families to keep track of, we do occasionally make mistakes.

        CLASSROOM TEACHER  If you have a question about something you do not understand, or you would just like to touch base with your child’s teacher, or you have a concern you wish to express concerning your child, the following suggestions may help you with this process.

1. Send a note, through your child, or an email to the classroom teacher asking for an appointment.  It is often helpful to list days and times that are good for you so that the teacher has those when looking at her schedule.

2. It is also possible to call the office and leave this same message.  We will get that information to the teacher as soon as possible.  Please remember that the teacher is probably in the classroom when you call.  Free time is at a premium, but they will get back to you at the first possible moment when they can talk uninterrupted.

3. It is important for you to remember that “stopping by their classroom” in the morning when school starts, on your lunch hour, or at dismissal, is not a good idea.  The teacher may be preparing for class or busy with the children and it is not a good time to interrupt.  As we all know, when we are caught off-guard, we often haven’t had the time to think through our response.  It is important that all of us have that opportunity to communicate effectively.    .......MORE
