Parents, at no time should you be in doubt in regards to your child's progress in school. Most teachers send home contact information at the beginning of each school year. Other than those, the best time to talk with the teacher is before school or during the teacher's planning period.

When you renew your automobile tags this year, ask for a Helping Schools Tag. It's tax deductible and 75% of the purchase price goes directly to Alabama's public schools.

Unlike other specialty automobile tags that can cost an additional $50 or more, the Helping Schools Tags are only $15. The price is intentionally low to allow everyone a chance to make a difference in our local schools.

Understanding Your School’s Limits on Sharing Information
When your child has been a victim of bullying, it’s natural to want to know exactly what will happen to the child who bullied him or her.
If you ask an educator in the United States, “What punishment is that child going to receive?” and hear… “That’s confidential.” You may conclude that the educator or administrator is avoiding your question or protecting the bully. In fact, they are simply obeying the law!
What A School Official
CANNOT tell you:
What A School Official
CAN tell you:
Specific disciplinary procedures instituted against any child except your own Specific disciplinary procedures that are defined in school policy or administrative procedures, and whether or not they intend to follow that policy in this case
-any actions the school is taking that specifically affect a child other than your own (e.g., moving another child to a different classroom) -any actions the school is taking that affect your child (e.g., moving your child to another classroom)
-the content of any communications with another child’s parents or guardians -the fact that they have been in communication with the parents or guardians of other children
-any contract or agreement with a child who is not your own, or with the parents of that child -any actions the school is taking which affect the children generally but which may impact the incident(s) in question (e.g., placing an adult monitor in a spot which has been identified as one where bullying occurs)
