Academic and Behavioral Concerns
Should parents or guardians have questions regarding students’ academic or behavioral concerns, the first, and best, place to start is with the teacher. Only the teacher directly involved will be able to answer your specific questions. Should you feel the need for additional assistance after speaking with the teacher, the School Counselor should be consulted.
