Report a Concern

Highline Public Schools is committed to communicating and working with you and your family. We believe that most solutions come from dialogue at the school level. If you have a concern, please reach out to the school administration first. Polite and respectful collaboration can lead to understanding and resolution and make all the difference. 

Tips for school collaboration:

• Set up an appointment for a call or a meeting when concerns arise.
• Follow up with the school if you don’t hear back within 24-48 hours after you contact them.
• Describe the situation as specific as possible and propose a solution.
• Share with the school how they can work with your student, creating an environment that promotes emotional well-being and a sense of belonging. 
• Continue working and communicating with the school until the issue is fully addressed.  

If you are encountering:

• Trouble communicating with staff
• Challenges meeting the needs of your student with an IEP
• Concerns about graduation requirements, transcripts, or transition to college
