A Note to Parents

The counselors would like to remind parents and students that we are here to advocate for the students and their needs. We would like to encourage parents to:

• Contact the individual teachers first with concerns about assignments, grades, or student progress.

• Ask teachers for specific feedback and to offer specific recommendations/suggestions for improving academic achievement in their classes.

• Contact counselors if grade concerns are not resolved.

• Seek additional help from teachers before or after school…consult teachers to make appointments.

• Contact counselors if/when questions arise.
