Who do I call?

• Your Childs Teacher- This is always a great

  something going on in your childs school day it
  is important to start by talking with the teacher
  so they can be made aware of the situation and
  help become part of the solution.
• The Main Office- When you have a question about
  events or activities held in the building, if
  there is an emergency and you need to notify the
  school
• Guidance Counselor- If you have concerns about
  your childs emotions, actions or your family is
  dealing with a difficult situation. I am here to
  help and also have many great resources.
