Parent Complaint Procedures

How can I get answers to my concerns?

We are dedicated to serving you and your student's health and educational needs. If you would like to file a Title IX Complaint or a Uniform Complaint, please visit the relevant webpage for further instructions. Otherwise, please proceed below with the following steps:

#1 - Contact Your Child's Teacher

If your question or concerns are related to your child's education, contact the teacher by email. Often, the teacher is able to provide a prompt solution, and the following steps are not necessary.

Please allow for 48 weekday hours to receive a response.

#2 - Contact the School Assistant Principal or Principal

If you have not received a response within 48 weekday hours or the issue has not been resolved following the teacher's response, notify the assistant principal/principal by email or phone. (The assistant principal may advise you to talk with the school counselor or the principal.)

Please allow for 48 weekday hours to receive a response.

#3 - Contact the District Resolution and Compliance Officer

If you have not received a response within 48 weekday hours or are unsatisfied with the response after contacting the school’s administration, please contact the District Resolution and Compliance office, where it will be directed to the appropriate department director. Please provide detailed information, including the names and dates of the staff members you spoke with.
