Steps for School-Based Matters
Most concerns can be resolved quickly by working directly with your school. Follow these steps to get help.
Step 1: Review with Classroom Teacher
The parent, guardian, or adult student (aged 18 years or older) should bring questions, feedback, and concerns forward to the classroom teacher or appropriate member of staff for resolution.
Step 2: Review with School Principal
If the parent, guardian, or adult student and the classroom teacher are not able to resolve the matter, the parent, guardian, or adult student may request that the matter be reviewed by the school principal. The principal will review the matter and work toward a resolution.
Step 3: Review with the Superintendent of Student Achievement
If the matter cannot be resolved still, the parent, guardian, or adult student may request that the matter be reviewed by the relevant superintendent(s) of student achievement. The superintendent(s) will review the matter and respond.
OR, Step 3: Contact the Student and Family Support Office

Step 4: Review with the CEO
