Communication

Education is a partnership between home and school. I value parent involvement at every level and ask you to help me encourage your child to be as successful as possible. In order for this partnership to be effective, we need to be able to communicate.

Please feel free to call, write or email me if you have questions or concerns about your child. I am available to schedule an in person conference or phone conference to discuss any issues or concerns you have.
