Important Note Regarding Parental Involvement in Virtual/Remote Learning

We know how hard folks are working to create school environments at home and appreciate the efforts, set forth, to support teaching and learning during these challenging times. Please be reminded:

  • Parents & guardians are not permitted to interrupt class to ask a question, or participate in the lesson during class time. 
  • Parents should refrain from typing comments or questions in the student platform. 
  • Only students should be participating in the Google Classroom platform. 
  • In the event that you have any questions or concerns, we remind folks of our requested protocol to address your inquiries:
    • The first step is to always reach out directly to the classroom teacher or service provider with an email or call, and they will respond in a timely manner.  
    • All questions regarding scheduling should first be sent to your school counselor.
    • If there is a question regarding curriculum, accelerated courses, and additional academic supports, our departmental chairs/directors/instructional supervisors are available to answer your inquiries. 
    • The next level of support would be to contact our grade level supervisors/assistant principals if you need assistance with fielding any pending concerns.
    • The principal should be contacted if you still need assistance or if there is a time sensitive matter that has not been resolved.
