Parent Involvement
Reaching the classroom teacher
Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher via email or telephone. Teachers check their email and voicemail before and after each classroom session. A listing of staff contact information is included in the parent handbook. Teachers can also be reached by calling the main office when immediate attention is needed. (508) 841 - 8646 (top) Parents can also link the information by selecting STAFF.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parents or teachers may request a conference at any time during the year. If you wish to initiate a conference, you may do so by calling the classroom teacher or by sending a note in your child’s backpack. Annual conferences will be scheduled.
When Parents Have a Concern
The school welcomes the opportunity to assist you and your child in having a successful experience in our programs. Should your family have a school concern or problem, the school must be notified. Contacting the right person and discussing your concerns can solve most problems. Generally the best place to begin to solve an issue is with the source, most often by contacting the classroom teacher. In the event that you are not satisfied with the solution or are unable to resolve an issue you should then contact the program director.
Visiting the school
Parents are welcome visitors to the preschool program. Please call the school in advance to schedule your visit; otherwise we could have a room full of adults!
Volunteering
Volunteering in the Shrewsbury Public Schools is a time-honored tradition. School volunteers are always in demand and perform a variety of functions such as participating in the classroom, presenting special projects, working in the main office, and preparing materials for teachers and students. Interested parents will receive volunteer orientation and training at the beginning of the year. Our school policy requires that all volunteers must submit and pass a CORI check.
PTO at the Parker Road Preschool
Each elementary school has an active parent organization, complete with monthly meetings and a slate of officers and sub-committees. These organizations provide the school with educational, social and fund raising activities. Getting involved is a good way to be of service to your school and ultimately to your child. The Parker Road Preschool has a wonderful school program that is due in large part to the commitment of concerned parents who volunteer their time to the PTO. Please consider being part of this very important school organization. |
