EMHS Parent Communication Cheat Sheet

Preface

Student learning and well-being are enhanced through collaborative engagement between students, staff, parents/guardians and the community. Fostering relationships with parents/guardians through engagement and communication opportunities is essential to student success. 

Often speaking directly to those most closely involved in a situation is most effective and timely. Contact with parents, students, and community members is not only welcome but encouraged.
