Bunn Elementary believes that parental involvement means the participation for parents in regular two-way and meaningful communication about student academic learning and other school activities. This ensures that parents are full partners in their child’s academic development and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child. Questions? We are always willing to engage in helpful communication. Please call/contact Christopher Cullom, Principal at 919-496-4015/christophercullom@fcschools.net |
