ALL GUESTS OF NATCHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOULD REPORT TO THE OFFICE BEFORE ENTERING CLASSROOM AREAS. VISITORS WILL BE GIVEN VISITOR BADGES TO WEAR WHILE IN THE SCHOOL.

Anyone wishing to visit during the school day will be asked to provide a picture I.D. if the office staff does not recognize the visitor as someone listed on the emergency card.  If the visitor is not on the emergency card, the student’s parent will be phoned to request permission.

Natcher Elementary is a welcoming school as we try to create an atmosphere where students want to come to school to learn and families like to come to school to visit and volunteer. Our faculty and staff treat all children, as they would want their own children to be treated. Children love to have their families join them for lunch and that is a great way to see how your child’s day is going.

Family members are welcome to visit classrooms but we ask that visits be scheduled in advance.  Every instructional minute is important. We strive to provide a learning environment that is free from interruptions and distractions so that an academic focus can be maintained. Drop-in visits tend to disrupt the flow of learning.

If you have questions or concerns about your child’s progress, please schedule a conference with your child’s teacher. We will be happy to arrange a time that is convenient for you and the teacher. It is not appropriate for teachers to discuss student progress when other children are present, in the hallway, in the car rider line, or in the grocery store. 

We ask that everyone please be considerate of all the students in the classroom and not ask the teacher to stop teaching or monitoring his/her class to have a discussion with a family member.  This also includes phone calls made to the classroom during the instructional day.  If calls are made, you will receive the teacher’s voice mail. Please leave a message and all staff members will return the phone call in a timely manner. 

Guided tours are always available for anyone interested in visiting our school.  These are scheduled with our Family Resource Coordinator, Susan Tabor, by calling the office and scheduling an appointment.
