Conflict / Problem Resolution

A successful school experience requires a three-way effort: the child, the teacher and the parent. We especially need you to assist in the following ways:

• Keep home information current. Please notify the school of any changes to phone numbers or addresses. It is important that the school has an up-to-date emergency contact.
• See that your child gets to school on time and let us know of any planned absences.   Please do not send your child to school if he or she is ill.
• Encourage a positive attitude about learning. Involve your child in a variety of reading, writing, and math activities.
• Take an active interest in your child’s work. Discuss their daily activities and check to ensure work is being completed. Planners, particularly in Intermediate, are an excellent tool.
• Attend parent-teacher conferences, student led conferences, open houses, and performances. At  Summit Elementary School we believe that parents are partners in education. If parents have  questions or concerns about their child in the classroom setting, they are first asked to contact  the classroom teacher to make an appointment to discuss concerns.
• Support your child’s classroom programs.
