| Jericho teachers and administrators may be contacted directly
by e-mail or telephone. E-mail addresses follow the format of first initial
last name @jerichoschools.org. So, for example, Mark Steinberger's e-mail
address is msteinberger@jerichoschools.org. If you are unsuccessful
in contacting a staff member, please send Mark Steinberger an e-mail
(msteinberger@jerichoschools.org)
and he will assist you.
E-mail is a useful way of contacting teachers, but the medium
has limitations. Please observe the following guidelines when e-mailing
teaching staff.
- Teachers are frequently unable to read their e-mail during their
teaching day. As a result, e-mail is not useful for same day messages
such as requests for assignments for an absent student, changes in
transportation plans, etc.
- It may take up to two days to get a response from a teacher.
- Teachers may not read e-mail during vacations and on weekends.
- E-mail is an excellent medium for short notes regarding notification
of events and other logistics. It is not as good a medium for long
descriptive narratives. Please do not expect extensive comments from
teachers. These are more properly obtained through the regular channels
of telephone calls, parent conferences and report cards.
- Many teachers prefer telephone communication. Please leave a telephone
number in your e-mail so that teachers have the option of getting
back to you by phone.
- E-mail is not an official document and so may not be used for absence
notes, changes in pickup, playdates, etc.
- Please do not telephone and e-mail about the same issue as this
may lead to a confusing situation. Choose whichever medium is most
convenient to you.
- Please check the "Chain of Communication"
for your child's school if you are unsure about whom to contact.
