Wichita Public Schools (WPS) are committed to providing the best education for all children and all means all. We are here to assist families and the community with questions, concerns or needs that individuals experience related to a child's education.

Wichita Public Schools is grateful for the support it receives from the parents of our students and all WPS employees share with parents the goal of achieving what is best for our students. Nevertheless, sometimes parents and school personnel may not agree on a particular issue. The key to settling any problem is clear and honest communication between home and school which is a vital part of a child's academic success.

                                        If you have a problem...

In the interest of arriving at a solution to a situation, it is very important to adhere to the procedures and reporting structures that WPS has in place.

1. In most cases, problems can be solved at the school level. Therefore, the first step must be to make an appointment to meet with the teacher or principal to discuss the matter.
   
   
2. In the unlikely event the principal cannot resolve the problem the next step is to take the matter to the Parent and Community Support Office - District Mediator. This office was created in 2002 to serve the general public — particularly parents — as an advocate to evaluate and/or mediate school related problems. The Mediator works directly with the Assistant Superintendents of Elementary, Middle and High Schools and can be reached at (316) 973-4668.
   
   
3. If the problem persists and all attempts to resolve the problem have failed, contact your school's assigned Assistant Superintendent.
