Hammarskjold Home | Parent/School Relations

November 7, 2007

The Hammarskjold administration believes in the importance of the link between school and home. This link provides the foundation for a successful learning experience for our students. We value regular communication between parents and those charged with educating your children. It is in the best interest of your child if, when there is a matter that you wish to address, you do so as follows:

Contact the staff member closest to the issue that you would like to address. More often than not there is a resolution with this first contact.
Next, if necessary, contact the grade level administrator.

Finally, if the matter has not been resolved, you may contact the principal.

It is reasonable for you to expect a prompt, though not immediate response. You should hear from the person whom you contacted within one school day, barring unforeseen circumstances. Please understand that we are busy with many facets of school life but your concern is important to us and we will make every effort to partner with you to help your child develop during their middle school years.

Mr. Michael Gaskell
Principal, Hammarskjold Middle School
