Communicating with School: A Positive Approach

  • Request a convenient time to speak with your child's teacher.
  • Provide, in writing, your questions and concerns before meeting the teacher.
  • Be willing to compromise and collaborate on behalf of the student's needs.
  • Provide a home perspective to your child's teacher on a regular basis.
  • Keep a file of communications, learning plans and testing data on your child throughout his/her K-12 years.
  • Provide both positive and negative feedback for changes in your child's learning plan, school assignments and learning activities.
  • Always give your child's teacher a second chance to discuss educational issues about your child.
  • Determine reasonable timelines and methods for communicating with your child's teacher.
  • Do not expect your child to provide complete or accurate descriptions of school-day experiences. Communicate directly with your child's teachers if you have questions about what is happening in the classroom.
  • Celebrate excellence both for your child and for those who teach your child.

With access to the internet comes the availability of material that may not be of educational value or appropriate for students. While at school, CCSD has taken precautions to restrict access to inappropriate or harmful web sites. However, on the internet it is impossible to control all materials and limit all access to information that has no educational value. CCSD firmly believes that the valuable information and the interaction available on the internet far outweigh the possibility that users may procure material that is not consistent with the educational goals of CCSD.
