Difficulty with reading,
math or other subjects
Who do I talk to if I
have concerns about my child ?
- Needing more academic
challenge
- Possible handicap or
disability (learning, physical, language, emotional)
- Homework completion problems
- Difficulty following
directions, paying attention, staying on task, or other behavioral
concerns
Getting
help for academic concerns:
- Talk to your child's teacher
about your concerns. She/he will either develop a plan with you or
suggest a specialist with whom you can meet.
- Discuss your concerns with the
Learning Specialist (Patricia Ellerby or Lori Prantil (360) 396-3876).
They can help you and the teacher develop a plan, give diagnostic
academic assessments, arrange for in-school tutors, and refer you to
other sources for help.
- If you believe your child may
have a handicap and be in need of special education, you can discuss your
concerns with the special education teacher or the school
psychologist. See the Suquamish Elementary home page and click on
"special education department" for more information.
- The school counselor, Cynthia
Galloway may be able to assist with social and/or emotional
concerns as well as Barb DeNormande.
