Parental Involvement

WHEN CAN PARENTS MEET WITH TEACHERS?

Parents can make an appointment to meet with their child’s teacher during Parent Engagement Time, which is on Tuesdays from 2:35-3:10 p.m. Teachers will not be available for conferences during arrival time as this is crucial time to prepare children for the day. Teachers also may not enter into conversations with parents at dismissal time until all children are dismissed.

Meetings with teachers can be arranged by:

1. Sending a written message to the teacher via your child
2. Calling the school and leaving a message for the teacher
3. Making arrangement via school’s Parent Coordinator:

                 Lissette Boccasino at 718-431-1960 ext 1081
