Staff-Parent Communication

Communication between the home and school is the key factor in helping our students succeed. Hutsell offers many different ways to communicate with our parents. We want all parents to be informed about upcoming events, their child's academic strengths and weaknesses, and if there are any behavioral concerns. Many grade levels utilize a weekly take-home folder. This folder contains information on upcoming events, conferences, behavior reflection forms, and the most recent graded papers. Take home folders and  Class DoJo are used by many teachers as an easy and convenient way for parents and teachers to communicate daily about any questions, comments, and concerns they might have. Teachers will also send home progress reports, comment sheets, and report cards to keep parents informed on their child's progress. Parent/Teacher conferences throughout the school year will be scheduled at the convenience of the parent so that progress can be discussed and any concerns that either party might have. Other forms of communication include the weekly Campus Newsletter, District and Campus Websites, e-mail addresses of teachers and staff members, KatyISD Automated Messaging System (E-News), Hutsell Facebook page, and telephones in every classroom. Parents can telephone at their convenience and leave messages for teachers anytime during the day. Every parent has access to HAC(Home Access Center) through KISD with an individual login code which allows access to their student's grades. Parents may contact the office if they do not have this code. Each parent will be able to see how their child is progressing, which skills they are being successful in or struggling with and their child's recent grades.
