COMMUNICATION IS KEY! Heritage Junior High Communication Flowchart Process Parents transitioning from elementary to junior high school often wonder the best way to have their question or concern addressed. It is easy to become discouraged when attempts to communicate with school officials are not addressed only to be referred to others to resolve a problem your child may be experiencing in school. In order to help parents with this process and assist in efficiency, the “ Heritage Junior High School Communication Process Flowchart ,” has been created. This sequence is in place to make sure your questions and concerns are addressed to the proper school official.
