Effective parent/school communication and collaboration is essential for the realization of Pinecrest’s mission. Besides regularly scheduled appointments, the school uses progress reports, report cards, email and phone calls as the ordinary means to inform parents of their student’s progress and behavior. The school also issues regular newsletters and weekly notices with pertinent information regarding other aspects of school life.

Parents are encouraged to call the school with questions, to set up meetings, or to relay messages. However, teachers and students cannot be called out of class during the school day to receive telephone calls. Parents are asked to use the school’s voicemail system or email for messages other than emergencies. Please contact the front office at 770-888-4477.

Parents with any questions or concerns regarding their child or the school’s program are encouraged to contact the principal either through the school’s email system or by calling to request an appointment.

Also, as the school is not a public forum, no person is allowed to distribute any type of printed materials on school grounds without the permission of the principal.  In addition, school email distribution lists obtained by parents, volunteers, and coaches cannot be used for personal purposes.  All school group emails must be approved and/or sent by the communications office This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
