NHS Grievance Policy

As the education and welfare of our students is of concern not only to parents, but also to our school staff and administration, we do promise that we will listen to your concerns and do our best to resolve them.

Students or parents who have a “complaint should make a sincere attempt to resolve any complaints by means of a conference between the concerned parties.” In practice, this means that parents should make an appointment (at least 24 hours notice is necessary prior to meeting) to speak with the faculty or staff member.  Parents should speak with the teacher before seeing the principal.  They should speak to the coach before going to the athletic director or principal. They should speak with to the principal before going to the St. Landry Parish School Board.

If a parent or student has an issue that needs to be addressed, we ask that the above chain of communication be used.  If there is no satisfaction at the first level, then it is the parent's right to take it to the next level and so on. If an issue comes to the attention of the principal and cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the parent, the parent may appeal to the St. Landry Parish School Board via grievance procedures, which are available from the principal.

We hope that most problems which arise might be resolved at the first level of communication; however, we also understand that not every issue is easily remedied.
