[quote=Anonymous]I have a K student in APS.  We get a weekly, grade-level email, but nothing else from the teacher.  I just found my child's beginning of year assessments in ParentVue; no communication about the fact that they were there (we got a whole-school email saying that they should be available at one point, but they weren't on ParentVue then when I checked), or what they mean. Or like-- no information about what they're doing to support kids below benchmark.

I don't want to share too much for fear of outing my student, but there have been multiple times where it felt like information should have come to me about my child/behavior/even a potential health issue (not covid related), and I got nothing.

I KNOW that teachers are overwhelmed right now, and I don't want to be a jerk.  But like-- I feel like I'm missing out on things I'm supposed to be doing to support my child's education. My kid isn't thriving.  I never, ever thought I'd be a parent to put kids in private school, but maybe that's just what we need to do, if I'm expecting a level of communication that APS just isn't set up to offer?  And based on other posts, it only gets worse in middle school!

Is this just a covid thing? Is it just my child's teacher/school? Or is it the reality of APS in general?[/quote]
