Communicating with Judge Memorial Your questions will be answered, and needs met most efficiently when you communicate directly with the person or office concerned with your issue. The school telephone number is 801-363-8895. After business hours, you may leave a voicemail message by dialing the appropriate extension when the telephone message begins. You will receive a computer code and instructions for accessing information about your student via Skyward, our student database system. Faculty/ Staff / Administrators can also often be reached at their email addresses which are generally their first initial, last name, followed by @judgememorial.org. Lines of Communication Open, supportive, and frequent dialogue between teachers, students, and parents provides an excellent environment for student success. Formal, scheduled conferences between teachers and parents/guardians are held twice a year. Additional meetings may be scheduled individually with your student’s teacher or counselor. Parents who have questions or concerns about classroom situations, academic progress, extracurricular activities, or behavior issues should follow the following procedures in this order: ● ●
●
●
Students talk directly with the teacher, counselor, coach, or moderator to discuss the situation. If the situation is not resolved, the parent/guardian makes an appointment with the teacher, counselor, coach, or moderator to discuss the situation. Concerns and/or complaints should be handled with the teacher/coach first. If there are further academic questions or questions about extracurricular activities, speak with the student’s counselor. If it is still unresolved, then contact the director of student services. Finally, if there is no resolution, contact the vice principal. Parents then have the option to appeal to the principal whose decision is final. Any calls or inquiries made directly to administrators will be referred back through this communication hierarchy unless issues of legality or morality are involved.
