- Teachers check email daily; however, it may or may not be at the same time each day. Checking email on weekends and holidays is certainly not required of staff. Therefore, the content of email should never be of a time-sensitive nature. (For instance do not ask via email if your child can go home with another child at the end of the day.)
- Email may be used for assignment due date questions, field trip questions, or requests for phone calls.
- Email should not be used for private conferences or discussions about your child's academic progress. It can be used to schedule these types of conferences and meetings with your child's teacher.
- Email should not be used for emergency situations or timely information. Also, please do not report student absences through email with a classroom teacher; instead, use the school's Attendance Line: 703-925-8080.
- Please allow at least one business day (24 hours) for staff to respond to your emails or phone calls.
