How can parents/guardians and students contact each other during the school day? If parents need to communicate with their child during the school day, they can do so by contacting the school office. The office will facilitate contact with students during the school day when needed. If students need to contact their parents/guardians during the school day, they can do so through the school office or with permission from teachers or administrators. Parents are asked to refrain from contacting their child/student on personal mobile devices during the school day to avoid interrupting or distracting students from learning activities.
