*Subject to Changes PARENT/GUARDIAN E-MAIL ADDRESS (return to instructor) Dear Parent: In an attempt to keep you informed about the progress of your child, I am requesting that you provide an email address so that I can communicate with you frequently and expeditiously. During weekdays, I can respond to email messages within 24 hours of receipt. I cannot access my mailbox during weekends therefore there will be a delay in responding to email messages sent on Saturday and Sunday. I believe that giving parents immediate notification of academic and behavioral concerns helps curtail such problems. Therefore, the swiftness of electronic communication has a great advantage. Please indicate below if it is OK to communicate with you concerning your child's progress via email: YES, it is OK to communicate with me via email. (If you answered yes, please provide a personal email address that your child preferably cannot access.) My personal email address is as follows: __________________________________@_______________.com OR Yes, I would prefer communication via the telephone. _______________________________________________________ Important Information for Parents/Students Parent/Teacher conferences will only be held before school or after school.
