To
reach a specific guidance counselor,
please visit the Westhill Guidance website's counselor
contact list.
Additionally, the
"formula" for email addresses
for
any counselor or teacher is the same: to reach Spiro Milas, it's
smilas@ci.stamford.ct.us.
To reach
Fran Levin, it's
flevin@ci.stamford.ct.us. To reach me, click the button below! (Bottom

I often
get questions from parents about how
best to contact multiple
teachers, or arrange a
meeting to discuss their child's progress
overall.
I heartily
recommend you go through your child's guidance counselor, and have a
parent-teacher conference scheduled for afterschool. This will allow
you,
your
child, and all 7 of your child's teachers to sit down
together and examine patterns and issue (positive and negative) that
could be affecting their progress.
The attendance policy
is also something I get a lot of questions about. The policy is as
follows:
1) Students are ONLY allowed 7
absences in a quarter. After that, they fail.
2) Absences are accrued in three
ways:
- Being absent from class WITH a note = 1 absence.
- Being tardy to class 3 times = 1 absence.
- Being absent from class without a note = a "cut" =
3 absences
3) Tardies and Cuts CANNOT be
appealed or
excused. Encourage your student to be on-time!!!
Please note: absences
without a note are considered "cuts." 2 cuts are all it takes to fail
the quarter.
So when you know your student is
going to be absent (family event, etc.) please provide me with a note
ahead of time.
And, when your student has been
unexpectedly absent (illness, etc.) please provide me with a note on
their FIRST day back.
