Who Do I Talk to About...

A guide for Arts Academy families on areas of staff expertise.

Your teachers are here to help you!

Your first stop is almost always the teaching staff

The following are general topics that can be discussed with teachers:

  • Questions, comments or concerns about academic achievement or classroom discipline issues
  • Questions about assignments or test grades

Parent Liaison

Parent Liaison

A Parent Liaison is a staff member (not a volunteer) who works to bridge the gap between home and school by helping parents get the information and support they need to ensure their child’s academic and social success. As a parent, the liaison is your private link, connection, and bridge to your child’s school.
