Communicating with School Leaders
When students and parents have questions or concerns, it is important that open communication exists. Many questions can be easily answered by the educator directly involved in the class or program before it becomes necessary to move on to the next level. One of the easiest ways to communicate is via email, or a phone call. As a way to help parents effectively ask questions or communicate a concern, a “chain of command” process has been developed. Oak Park Schools leadership and staff will follow the communication process below, and asks families to use this process as a reference when beginning their communications.
