Where to Ask Questions

There are lots of ways to ask questions (and get answers) at WCJA. Where to go first largely depends on the subject matter of your question:

• Issues related to your child’s interactions with their teacher (behavior, homework, need for more help, etc.): Start by reaching out to your child’s teacher directly. If you cannot resolve the problem with them, follow up with Dr. Narrow.
• Big-picture BWCJA concerns or suggestions, teacher issues, questions related to district policies in relation to BWCJA: Email or call (314-353-8875) Dr. Narrow
• Grade-level questions: Try asking the fellow parents in your child’s grade-level Facebook group
  • Pre-K: TBD (Facebook pages are created and administered by a volunteer parent in each incoming class)
  • Kindergarten
  • 1st grade
  • 2nd grade
  • 3rd grade
  • 4th grade
  • 5th grade
• PTO-related concerns (PTO meetings and school events, volunteering, questions you would ask another parent about school procedures, resources and activities of interest for WCJA students, etc.): Try posting on the PTO Facebook page, attend a PTO general meeting, or contact the relevant board member.
• Questions related to your child’s or families’ social or emotional concerns:
  • Call (314-353-8875) or email our school counselor, Dr. Sorenson
  • District social and emotional support hotline for students/parents: 314-345-6900, studentservices@slps.org
  • Social and economic resources for families: www.slps.org/resources
  • Other mental health resources: https://www.slps.org/Page/74687
