                                                                    Parent-Teacher Communication

                                                                    Parents may contact any teacher by calling the school.  The school secretary will take the message and the teacher will return the call during their break or a more convenient time.

                                                                    Formal parent meetings with teachers are scheduled several times during the school year.  Parents are welcome at any time to make and appointment with a teacher or the administrator to discuss their child’s progress.

                                                                    During these conferences, parents may learn about not only their child’s academic progress, but also their work habits, social relationships with other students and faculty, special interests, aptitudes or any health, or emotional concerns.  Both the teachers and parents benefit from these discussions as you build a school-home atmosphere that is conducive to your child’s development.

                                                                    The Teacher Connection
                                                                    Universal School will be participating in Classroom Connection – sponsored by Tops International, The Buffalo News, and Independent Health. Teachers at Universal School will be provided a voice messaging service. Students and parents can call to listen to teacher messages on a daily basis. Teachers will update the messages on a daily and will leave various messages, such as reminders, homework, and even read short stories and passages to discuss the following school day. Teachers will send home this information to the parents on the first day of school.
