It is best for the parent to first contactthe teacher. No problem can be solved without the combined efforts of the parent and theteacher. If a parent still has concerns, the second step would be to contact Ms. Miller,Principal.PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)The PTO is a vital part of the school program. It serves to unite the efforts of parents andteachers to provide the best education for our children. PTO membership drive begins with thestart of the new year. Interesting, informative meetings are planned and many programs andfundraisers are sponsored. Their success depends upon your support. See page 1 for a list ofthis year’s officers.PARENT VISITATION AND CONFERENCESParent visitation to their child’s classroom is encouraged. We feel it is important to yourchild’s education for parents to show interest and visit the classroom. It is recommended thatvisitations be arranged in advance. We do ask that you sign in at the office when you arrive andpick up a “VISITOR” badge. This allows others in the building to know that you have been to theoffice. We do this for the safety of all children in the building.Parent teacher conferences are scheduled twice during the year. Dates and times will beannounced. Other conferences can be arranged by contacting the office or teacher. Theseconferences can be arranged by contacting the teacher by telephone or note. Such conferenceswill be set at a time convenient of both parent and teacher. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THESECONFERENCES BE ARRANGED IN ADVANCE TO AVOID INTERRUPTION OF VALUABLECLASS TIME.
