FAQ's
Where can I find a referral list for local therapists?
What if I have a question about my child' s grades?
Your student's classroom teachers are great resources on this subject. In addition to checking HAC (Home Access Center) to keep tabs on your child's grades, you may have further questions about assignments that the subject-area teacher would be able to answer.If after speaking to the teacher you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child's counselor.
What if my child is applying to private school?
If your child is applying to attend another school and you need a copy of your child's educational records (attendance, transcripts, test scores, etc). please submit a request to our front office staff (Suzanne Neubeck & Amy Wuillermin) If you are requesting a letter of recommendation, your counselor can do this, but may not have the same detailed information about your child's educational strengths as a classroom teacher would. Please consider who knows your child the best and will be able to speak to all of the things that make them unique!
