Staff are expected to do their best to respond to email in a timely manner (within 24-48 hours, not including evenings, weekends, or school holidays). This definition of timely manner is communicated to parents in the School Handbook.
+We are not expecting teachers to check emails in the evening or weekend. If staff are working outside of normal hours, we recommend that they schedule emails to send for the next school day when possible.
Elementary teachers are expected to communicate with parents through Registration Day Open classroom greetings, open house conferences, report cards with notes, a parent-teacher conference at the end of the first quarter, and other opportunities suggested by the elementary principal. Many teachers create messaging accounts, like Class Dojo, or use DOT books to communicate with parents more frequently.
