Parent Classroom Visitation

We'd love for you to visit your child's classroom. In order to ensure our student's safety and maintain the quality of our instructional time, we ask the following:

  • Please make an appointment with your child's teacher at least 24 hours in advance. Please email or call your child's teacher and schedule a visit.
  • When you arrive at AASD, please check in at the front desk.  You will be given a visitor's badge and escorted to your child's classroom.  
  • Please limit your visits to no more than two times per week and to about 30 minutes per visit except for special events like holiday performances and other special occasions.
  • These visits are for observation only and are not the time for a parent-teacher conference.  Formal parent-teacher conferences are held during the school year and you may contact your child's teacher at any time during the year to set up a conference with them.

State Schools Policy (Georgia Department of Education)

  • Time and purpose of classroom visits are scheduled and approved with the teacher at least 24 hours prior to the visit. A parent or guardian may call or email the teacher to schedule the visit.
  • The teacher will notify the office that visitors are expected.
  • Visitors will sign in at the office and be escorted to class.
  • Visits are kept to 30 minutes each for maximum two visits per week unless the teacher indicates a special occasion such as a holiday performance, etc.
  • Visits are for unobtrusive observation of the family’s student and not a time for family/teacher conferences.
  • Visitors are prohibited from using recording devices during the visit. This is to protect the privacy of other students in the classroom.
  • The school-level superintendent may approve a deviation from this protocol if there are extenuating circumstances, but the circumstances must be of a significant nature that would warrant such a deviation. The parent or guardian should call or email the school-level superintendent to discuss a deviation from this protocol based on extenuating circumstances.
