What do I do if I have a concern about a class?

It is best to e-mail the teacher(s) directly. Teacher e-mail 
addresses are located on the Broughton website. (You may access 
this website by going to the home page and clicking on the school 
house in the upper right 
corner.)

How do we know when interims and report cards will be sent home?

These dates are listed on the WCPSS master calendar that is in 
the daily planner given to each student. Record these dates on 
your personal calendar so you will remember to ask your student 
to see interims/report 
cards.

How does my child get assignments when he/she is absent from class?

Anytime a child is absent, the parent should call the BHS 
Attendance Office on the day of the absence (856-7852) If you 
know the child will be out for AT LEAST 3 CONSECUTIVE DAYS, ask 
the attendance technician to send a request for assignments to 
the teachers OR email the teacher directly for assignments. 
Parents may then pick up the work after school the following day 
from the attendance office.  Teachers must have 24 hours notice 
to prepare assignments. I think it is easier to make sure your 
student has a "study buddy" to call in each class to find out 
missed assignments.

What should I do if I have concerns about a teacher?

Parents need to first contact the teacher and make an effort to 
solve the problem by working together. If you then feel the 
problem has not been resolved, feel free to call or e-mail the 
counselor or administrator. We will be glad to listen to the 
concern and steer you in the right direction if we
are unable to help you.

How can I keep up with homework assignments?

Every student at BHS is provided a planner by the Academic 
Booster Club. Encourage your student to record all assignments in 
the planner for you to review at home together. If needed, ask 
each teacher to initial the assignment to verify that the student 
has recorded it correctly. 
(It is the 
student's responsibility to ask the teacher for his/her signature 
at the end 
of class!)

How do I schedule a conference with one or more teachers?

 It is usually preferable to speak with teachers one-on-one 
rather than having a group conference; however, you may contact 
the counselor if there is a specific reason to meet with a group 
of teachers and we will send notes to teachers requesting their 
presence on a specified date. The student should plan to attend 
the conference as well. Group conferences times are generally 
from  3:15 - 3:40 p.m. on Mondays,Tuesdays, and Thursdays OR 
fromo 7:30 - 7:50 a.m. any day of the week.

How do I make an appointment to see the counselor?

Beginning the 3rd week of school, the 9th grade counselor will 
post a parentnappointment calendar on the door each Monday. 
Parents may come by and sign up for a convenient time to meet. 
You may also e-mail the counselor for a time.

dates and times of meetings.
