Grievance Procedures

Grievance Procedures

In some circumstances there may be a disagreement between parents, students and staff at our school. If such a disagreement occurs please follow the guidelines listed below so the situation might be satisfactorily resolved.

Think carefully about the situation; talk with your child to make sure you have all of the important information. Please remember there are two sides to every story.

Please seek to resolve the situation with the teacher. He/she should be your first line of communication. Keep those lines open and friendly.
If the situation cannot be resolved with the teacher, please contact the principal.
If the situation is not resolved satisfactorily with the principal and the teacher, parents may approach the Director for the school. A written request is required for discussion to take place.
In the event the situation is still not resolved the parent/guardian may make a formal, written request to appear at a regularly scheduled Governing Board meeting.

Please follow the procedures listed above for a timely response to a concern. The school’s governing board will usually refer the case back to the school and the Director. The school staff will make every effort to communicate with parents to avoid unpleasant situations. In the event a grievance is required, please remember to remain calm and rational. We understand that your child’s welfare is extremely important to you, as it is for us. We are a team working together to insure academic success for each student. If the situation cannot be resolved by the teacher please schedule a meeting with the Assistant Principal.
