It is reviewed and revised at least annually during the Planning Meeting in the spring.

Shiloh offers flexible meeting times to best meet the needs of our families. If you would like to schedule a meeting, you may do so by scheduling large group teacher meetings with your child’s counselor through the Counseling Department or you may contact your child’s teachers directly.
