5019: Communicating with Parents

Parents shall be kept informed of student progress, grades, and attendance through report cards, progress reports, and parent/teacher conferences. The ESU will notify parents if their students are failing or close to failing or are not achieving the goals of the educational program in which the student is participating, either through communication from the ESU or through parental access to the district’s student information system. Other pertinent information will be communicated to parents by mail, electronic communication, telephone calls, by personal contact, or other appropriate method. Official transcripts of student progress, grades, and attendance will be sent to the student’s resident school district and other school systems upon the student’s transfer when the district receives a written request signed by the student’s parent or guardian or upon being notified that the student has enrolled in another school. By providing the ESU with their telephone number(s), parents agree to receive notifications from the ESU’s automatic notification system.
