Visiting During School Hours

We welcome visits from parents and guardians. However, to protect student safety, all visitors must sign in at the main office and wear a visitor’s badge. To protect instructional time, please contact the teacher 24 hours before your observation.

Parents/guardians who would like a conference with their child’s teacher must schedule an appointment with the teacher during their planning time.

In the classroom, please be sure to enter quietly and sit in the space designated for you and by the teacher. Do not interrupt children and staff while they are working. Wait until an appropriate break to ask the teacher any questions you may have.

Remember that, as an observer, you are bound by the same code of ethics as any other adults at LEAP. If you would like to discuss your observation or classroom issue with the teacher, please request a conference time or a phone call. The teacher will not be able to engage in a lengthy discussion during the day, but is always willing to schedule another time to meet or talk.
