[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Here are the 2 emails sent with no response
1. Email sent to Principal/Registrar about withdrawing one child from Public school to move him to private - no reply/response - nothing. Not a word !!! They have deleted the student accounts etc. though so we know they have received our email. 
2. Email sent to class teacher about collecting the school supplies from the class - not a word back from the teacher again[/quote]

The first one, it seems like they did what you asked them to do. The person who received your email probably forwarded it  to the person in charge of removing the child from their system, and a person got it done.  It’s a really busy time, remember, a public school is a huge monster compared to a private school. So the first week or so they’re trying to be as efficient as possible. No need to respond. For the second, how long have you been waiting for the teacher to respond? Today is only the second day of school. Honestly, most of my children’s teachers are extremely fast at responding. My daughter had one older teacher who just didn’t do emails very well. She rarely responded, but she was my daughter’s favorite teacher. I figured out, by speaking with other parents whose children had had her, that the best thing was to send a written note with your child. She would send written notes right back with my child. She was just an older lady who was a fantastic teacher, but just not great with technology. Give the teacher a chance. I would wait a day or so and maybe gently ask again.[/quote]
