5) How do I set up an appointment with my child's teacher? It is your right as a parent to set up an appointment with your child's teacher at any time during the school year. To do so, call the main office at 702-799-4205 and ask to set up an appointment with your child's teacher. Teachers are very busy and would be appreciative if you would call to set up a meeting time. Stopping by your teacher's classroom during the school day without an appointment is not conducive to a productive conference because the teacher may be educating your child at that time or planning how best to help your child succeed in school. |
