Parent Classroom Observations/Visits
Parents, if you are interested in observing your child’s class, please complete the Guidelines for Parent Classroom Observations/Visits form and submit it to your child's grade level administrator. They will work with your child’s teacher to accommodate your request. If you have any questions about the form or the observation process, please contact your child's grade level administrator.

- BEFORE the trip, the form found at this link (Spanish version) is completed and given to our Data Manager, Ms. Richmond.
- AFTER the trip, the student turns in a 2-page summary of their educational experience to Ms. Richmond (absence isn't excused until the paper is submitted).
