Dear ESUSD Families,
Welcome to the new school year! The 2022-2023 academic year is well under way and El
Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD) anticipates another great year. I join the faculty in our
commitment to deliver high quality instruction to your children on a daily basis.
It is my belief that students, parents, teachers, staff and students must all collectively work
together to foster student learning and engagement. As your child moves from one school to
another within the District, we realize that you may not know who to contact with your
questions or concerns. We are here to provide support and help you get answers.
I recommend initially all questions or concerns should first be directed to the individual(s)
involved in an attempt to resolve issues at the lowest level. For example, if you have a concern
about a classroom issue or your student’s academic progress, it should be directed to the
teacher first. ESUSD is extremely fortunate to employ skilled and caring professionals who
diligently strive to ensure every child feels seen, heard, supported and loved! If you have a
concern about the school, it should be directed to the principal or assistant principal and so
forth.
The following list provides the recommended framework on who to contact first, and
subsequently, for any issues or concerns you may have.
| Topic/Issue/Concern | 1st Contact | 2nd Contact | 3rd Contact |

| Elementary School Transitional Kindergarten – Fifth Grade: If the concern is related to the classroom | Contact the classroom teacher | Contact the assistant principal or principal of the school (if concern is not satisfactorily addressed by the teacher) | See Contact Chart |
| Middle & High School: If the concern is related to the classroom | Contact the classroom teacher | Contact the student’s counselor (if it’s an academic issue or coordination with multiple teachers is needed) | Contact the assistant principal or principal of the school (if the concern remains unresolved) |
| If the concern is related to the School | Contact the assistant principal or principal of the school | See Contact Chart |
If you have contacted the appropriate abovementioned individuals at the school site level and still believe your concerns have not been addressed to your satisfaction, please contact the following individuals at the district level:
If the question/concern is related to:
We want to hear from you! ESUSD is committed to providing timely responses to questions and taking prompt, decisive action as needed when concerns are brought forth through the proper channels by our stakeholders. If your child has a classroom-related concern, initiating a conversation with his/her teacher is an important part of completing your due diligence as a parent. I encourage all parents and stakeholders to engage with the District and become involved in your child’s educational journey.
Warmest Regards,
Melissa Moore, Ed.D.
