Whenever
you have a question or a concern, Mohonasen wants to
hear from you! Here are some important ways you can communicate
with school district faculty and staff:
By
telephone.
One of the easiest ways to reach your child's teacher is to call
the school. Phone numbers for all schools are listed on
each school's home page (see links above). All teachers in each school
have voice-mail accounts so you can leave messages for
individual teachers this way. Simply ask the school
secretary to connect you with the voice-mail of the
teacher you wish to contact.
Leave a detailed message so the teacher can have the
information you need when he or she calls you back.

(along with their e-mail links).
By
mail.
Addresses for each of our school buildings are listed on
each school's home page and on the Schools
page. You may also address correspondence to central
office administrators or the Board of Education at the
Mohonasen District Office, 2072 Curry Road, Schenectady,
NY 12303.
By
e-mail.
Visit our administration and key contacts page
or our schools page for
direct e-mail links. All faculty members
are also provided e-mail accounts, so ask your child's
teachers if this is a good way to stay in touch. If so, exchange addresses.
Take
advantage of parent-teacher conferences and open
houses.
Each of our
schools holds an annual open house for parents during in
the fall. These events are a prime opportunity for you to meet
and speak with teachers and other staff members at your child's school.
The
elementary schools also schedule parent-teacher
conferences in late Fall and Spring -- great
opportunities for parents and teachers to share
insights, ideas, and concerns about students. And just
because conference days aren't scheduled at the Middle
School and High School, parents shouldn't hesitate to
contact their children's teachers or guidance counselors
to schedule a meeting.
Online.
More and more teachers are developing Web pages that
feature everything from homework assignments to study
links and samples of student artwork. Ask your child's
teachers if they have a Web page, or simply browse the
teacher pages for each school on our Web site.
Via
assignment notebooks.
Student assignment notebooks are a good forum for
parents and teachers to exchange written notes about
everything from homework to behavior. If you think this
would be useful, ask the teacher about setting up a
regular communications log.
