Problem Solving with the School

Student and Teacher/Coach/Person of Contact

The first point of contact to resolve any concerns should be the people the concern is directly regarding. If a student is having an issue with a teacher about a grade, a coach about playing time, etc. we should try our best to have them practice having conversations that address their concerns in a kind and solution oriented manner.

If not possible, try

Counselor or Parent and Student and Teacher/Coach/Person of Contact

Sometimes these conversations can be scary for students. If that is the case, parents should work with the students to support and participate in addressing the concern with the person the concern directly involves.

Still needing more support? Try

The Assistant Principal/Athletic Director/Activities Director/Principal

As the instructional leaders, we are happy to join the ongoing conversation that has already started to see if we have additional insight to support the problem solving that has already been initiated between the family/teacher or coach.

If after working with someone on leadership, you’re still feeling the school is not resolving your concerns, try

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION

When a concern cannot be resolved at the school level, the next step is to contact the principal’s supervisor, the Executive Director of High School Education.
