Parent Communication I feel that parent communication is an essential part of the educational experience. I believe that this can help your child to find increased success in school. There are many ways to contact me: • My phone number is 215-944-2619 ~ it goes right to voicemail, which I can access on my email • If there is an emergency, please call the office!! • My email address is sash@crsd.org Please let me know if you have a new or additional email that I need to add to my contact list. • Email is the best way to contact me. • Use the yellow clear folder when sending in handwritten notes or other information to school Many parents find it helpful to email when sending in a note or money…this way we can look out for it!
