Communication with Teachers and the School

Open communication between parents and the school is welcome and essential.  All members of the ISNS community are responsible for proactively communicating their needs, questions, ideas and suggestions.  We believe that healthy, effective communication is always in the best interest of the students and the school.  ISNS works to constantly improve the quality of its academic program and learning environment and abundant communication is a key element for fostering such growth.


When communicating, we ask that all community members conduct themselves in a positive and professional manner.  Listening is as important as speaking in effective communication.  Everyone should demonstrating respect for those involved in their communications.  


ISNS values face-to-face interactions and encourages parents to meet in-person with teachers or leadership team members whenever possible.  E-mail is the main platform for formal communication when meeting face-to-face is not possible.
