 * //What if I am experiencing difficulties?//**

This is a full year commitment but occasionally a family feels that their child needs to break their contract. Requests to drop the class must be initiated by a parent or guardian. Please stay in contact with me throughout the year, especially if your child is experiencing challenges so that we can work together to resolve problems. The best way to reach me is by email at lshrenker@longmeadow.k12.ma.us If you provide a phone number I will be happy to call you.
