Parental Involvement
Fontainebleau encourages regular, two-way, and meaningful communication between parents and staff involving student academic learning and extracurricular activities.
This communication ensures
a) that parents play an integral role in assisting in their child’s learning;
b) that parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education at school;
c) that parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child.
Parents are encouraged to monitor their student(s) progress through the on-line Student Progress Center. Assistance with accessing the site may be obtained by contacting Mrs. Peters in the front office.
Parent meetings, email, Teacher Web (school counseling website), and our call home service are just some of the ways we communicate important information to our school community. Your student receives current information through announcements, fliers, and quarterly class and small group meetings, to name a few.
Counseling and Guidance Services
The student should seek the aid of the counselor with personal, social and scholastic problems; with planning of his high school program in light of his abilities, interests, and needs; checking college-entrance requirements and scholarship information; and with making decisions concerning vocations and selecting colleges.
All five of the counselors provide individual, small, and large group counseling in the areas of academic, career, and personal/social development of your student.
Class Meetings
Transcripts
