What is the best way to communicate with teachers?

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 
my 
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.

Do 9th grade parents have to pick up the first report card?

Yes - 9th grade parents will be expected to come to Broughton High School to 
pick up report cards for the first grading period only. Please plan to come 
to the Auditorium lobby on Tuesday, November 7th, from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. 
Teachers will be available for brief conferences from 3:20 - 5:45 p.m. on 
that date. 

If you are unable to come that day, you may come by the guidance office 
beginning November 8th from 7:30 - 3:30 p.m. to pick up the report card. We 
will not give the report card to your student! Report cards not picked up by 
Friday will be mailed.

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 
(Ms. Greene) to send a request for assignments to the teachers. 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 me or Mr. Lentz, 9th grade 
administrator. We will be glad to listen to the concern and steer you in the 
right direction if we are unable to help you.

What should I do if I have concerns about assignments, grades,etc.?

Please e-mail the teacher(s) directly. Teacher e-mail addresses are located 
on the Broughton website,in the student directory,and on a sheet in my 
office 
that parents are welcome to come by and pick up.

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 me (sglover@wcpss.net) 
if there is a specific reason to meet with a group of teachers and I 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 - 3:45 p.m. on Mondays,Wednesdays, and 
Thursdays.

How do I make an appointment to see Ms.Glover?

Beginning Sept.11th, 2006, I will post a parent appointment calendar on my 
door each Monday.  Parents may come by and sign up for a convenient time to 
meet with me during the week. You may also e-mail me sglover@wcpss.net) if 
you wish to schedule an appointment.
