Communication Between School and Home

The School’s Website

Please visit us on the web at eugenevillageschool.org .  The website is maintained through the office.

The Village Voice

Office staff produce a weekly newsletter, The Village Voice.  This is where you’ll find a monthly calendar, list of upcoming events, parent’s FYI, articles about our school, curriculum, class parent evenings, committee meetings, Board meetings, Parent Council, announcements, volunteer opportunities, current fundraisers, school activities such as festivals, and much more.  The Village Voice is created every Friday.  It is posted on our website and emailed to families.  Paper copies are available above the family mailboxes. 

Family Mailboxes

Every family in the school has one mailbox.  Flyers, class communication, and other information can be found in your family’s mailbox.  It is located outside the main office.  Two-household families can receive two copies of items in the same family mailbox.  Simply write a “2” on your nametag, and you should get two copies of everything.  Please try to stop by and pick up your mail at least once a week—we like to see you! And we want you to be connected to what’s happening at school.

Teachers

It is important for Village School parents to be closely connected to the progress their children are making at school.  To this end, teachers provide information on how the School’s unique curriculum is aligned with the State Standards.  A wide range of opportunities exist that allow parents to review progress and interact with their children’s teachers, through home visits, regular progress reports, semi-annual parent/teacher conferences, district and State Assessment results, recommendations for Homework Club (Title I assistance), comprehensive reports and recommendations at the conclusion of each school year, calls home as needed, or recommendations for Summer School as needed.

Teachers will inform parents about goings on in the classroom through parent meetings, class newsletters, email lists, blogs, bulletin boards, phone trees, or other methods.  Parents will receive a class phone tree and contact information for the teacher at the beginning of the school year.  Please contact your class teacher and set up a time to meet if you have something that needs attention.  Your teacher wants to know important information that will help him/her to understand and help your child.  Some teachers will be available for homework help on the phone in the evening—just ask your class teacher what the policy is in your child’s class if you want to call them at home.
