We will make every effort to notify families (verbally or by written note) whenever a situation arises that we feel you should be aware of. We request that families keep us informed of your needs, concerns, and feelings. REMEMBER, a crisis at home affects the child's behavior at school. Let us know the joyous happenings, upsetting experiences, and important changes (for example: birth of a sibling, hospitalization, death in the family, prolonged absence of a parent from home, etc.) which may affect behavior. This information helps us understand the child's behavior and needs and will will be kept confidential. Also, let the school office or me know of any changes (address, phone, etc.) during the year so that your child's records will always be correct.
