Parent and Student Handbook

Home/School Communication

The Workman staff is committed to frequent student-parent-school communication that is essential for our working together as an educational team. Communication between school and home may be done through Parent Square, phone messages, emails, flyers, weekly/monthly classroom newsletters, written notes, School Website, Workman Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, the marquee in front of the school, phone calls, parent conferences, and speaking to the principal directly. We encourage every parent to stay in close communication with his/her child’s teacher and the school. You may call the office, leave a note for the teacher, email the teacher, or speak to the teacher afterschool in the dismissal area. Please check with your child’s teacher for the most efficient and best way to communicate with him/her. If you have a question, we are here to help with an answer. Make it a habit to ask for and go over assignments, notes, flyers, homework planner and communications that come home with your child. Workman Elementary School phone number: 626-933-4201

Aeries Data Confirmation

It is imperative that in case of an emergency the parents of the students or an authorized adult be reached. For this reason, every effort should be made to keep the office informed of any changes in address or telephone numbers.  The names and telephone numbers of friends, relatives and baby-sitters submitted in AERIES as emergency contacts must be kept current.  Students will be released only to these persons. No exceptions. Persons listed must be over 18. We are not able to call and ask the parent for permission if the person is not an emergency contact in AERIES.

Parents can update their students’ emergency card by completing the AERIES “Data Confirmation” through their AERIES Parent Portal. Please note that data confirmation is to be completed for each individual student. Only Aeries PARENT Portal users can complete data confirmation. If you need assistance with this, please contact the front office immediately. Changes can be made through the phone. Office staff will ask questions to verify identity. Only parent/guardian can make changes via the phone. Please note that you may still be asked to complete data confirmation even if the office was notified of changes to the emergency card as data confirmation also allows you to review Mandatory District forms such as the Acceptable Use Policy and District Annual Handbook.
