If your concern is with a teacher, speak with them first. If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact the school principal. Please remember that school leaders have very full schedules and may not be available to talk with you at your convenience.
Bring notes on what you would like to discuss. Ask for the school’s policy if needed and feel free to ask for clarification on the rules of the school.
Propose solutions, but be open to other ideas. When a solution is reached, make sure everyone understands what they should do next. Practice active listening.
Rephrase what you hear to make sure you understand. One example is to say, “It sounds like what you’re saying is…” By rephrasing what was said, we decrease the chance of a misunderstanding.
We encourage families to work to resolve issues at the school level first. If you cannot come to a positive agreement, please contact the Family Constituency Services department at 720.423.3054.
