Parent-Teacher
Conferences
Formal
parent-teacher conferences are scheduled twice during the year -
following the 1st marking period and during the 3rd marking period. Parents should feel free, however, to initiate
communication with the school at any time during the year that it is
deemed necessary.

Parent-Teacher
Relationships
In
school work the human element is always present.
Teachers, parents, and students are all human and have human
relationships and feelings. All parents having questions or concerns about the school
program or personnel should direct their questions to the appropriate
staff members, individual teacher, or the Administrators.
In
general the following procedures should be the guiding norms for
parent-teacher relationships:
1.
Communications by parents concerning curriculum, school regulations and
goals, classroom routine and work must first be directed to the teacher
concerned.
2.
If the situation demands further clarification, the Administration
should be contacted and given the opportunity to evaluate the parent's
concern.
3.
If necessary, written communication should then be directed to the
School Board, only after the first two steps above have been
implemented. It is
important that the only situations presented to the Board be those which
involve a matter of policy or a situation not covered by a policy.

Parent
Volunteers
Valuable
assistance to our educational program is provided by parent volunteers.
Many parents assist in the library (1/2 day per week) and others
help teachers as room parents or teacher aides (please contact
individual teachers). More volunteers are always welcome.
In
addition, a crew of parents work every day supervising the lunchroom and
playground. If you would be
interested, please contact the school office.

Parking
In
order to encourage safety for all children, parents are asked to follow
the traffic guidelines, especially when dropping off or picking up
students at school. Parking
is restricted to the rectory lot on Mound Road and the main lot, but
away from the building and school busses.
Both sides of Arden are posted "No stopping, standing, or
parking". Parents are also urged not to park on the neighborhood
side streets.
