  10. Contact Me I believe that close, open home/school communication is essential. I want to be available to you and reachable to ensure your (your child’s) success. I encourage students to email me directly with concerns, questions, (confusion!) to advocate for their learning as adults. Mutual respect, even during times of frustration, is key to a positive relationship. I check my email regularly. When emailing, please include a contact number because chances are that I will call to discuss since I believe dialogue is more productive to tease out a situation that emailing back and forth. Always include a contact phone number so I am able to respond as quickly as possible. E-mail: Parry.Yousefzadeh@lcps.org Twitter:@Mrsyutopia School phone: 571-434-4400
