Scholar and Teacher Communication Protocol

Secondary Grades:

  • Course assignments are designed to keep scholars on track to meet graduation requirements and ensure eligibility for university admissions. Scholars are expected to remain in assigned courses throughout the entire term . Course changes must be approved by a parent and the John Adams Academy Administration. (Family/Scholar Handbook, pg. 9) 
  • Add/Drop Period: Course requests to add/drop courses must be submitted within the first week of the semester. Add/drop requests are not guaranteed to be approved. 

This process is designed with the intent of teaching scholars how to effectively  communicate directly and build positive relationships with teachers when there is a concern.  If necessary, parent and teacher conferences are scheduled to assist with improving communication.

If a scholar or parent has a concern about a class or teacher please follow these steps:

  • At the first sign of difficulty, the scholar will contact the teacher.  This will make the teacher aware of the scholar’s concerns or frustrations and will facilitate getting additional help from the teacher.
  • If the scholar or parent concerns are not addressed in Step 1 then a scholar/teacher/parent conference should be scheduled.  This can be done by contacting the teacher either by phone or email. All staff emails are: [email protected] The purpose is to determine what the teacher, parent and scholar can do together to help resolve the concern.
  • If the scholar or parent finds that the concern still exists, the parents can schedule a meeting with the Assistant Dean. The Assistant Dean will then meet with the parent, scholar, teacher and counselor to assess the situation and assist with resolving the concern.
