Communication between home and school is vital to the education of your child. Each Loudoun County Public School staff member has been given an email account to use as one communication tool between staff members and parents.

In order to utilize email as an effective communication tool, please consider the following guidelines and remember that our first priority is teaching.

• Teachers check email daily; however, it may or may not be at the same time each day. Checking email on weekends and holidays is certainly not required. Therefore, the content of email should not be of a time-sensitive nature.
• Email may be used for assignment due date questions, field trip questions, or requests for phone calls.
• E-mail should not be used in place of the student agenda. It is our goal to promote responsibility within our students. Therefore e-mail should not be used to check daily assignments.
• Email should not be used for private conferences or discussions about your child’s progress. It can be used to schedule these types of conferences.
• Email should not be used for emergency situations or timely information.
• Please allow one business day (24 hours) for staff to respond to your emails or phone calls.
