Note to Parents:
I encourage parents/guardians to contact me at any time regarding your son or daughter by phone or e-
mail. I am a firm believer that a student’s success improves with the involvement of their parent or
guardian. If you do not hear back from me within 24 hours, the likelihood is that I did not receive your
message. I would appreciate your trying to contact me again as it is crucial that we communicate with one another.
