I just wanted to share that Mrs. Shorter has been such a great communicator with the parents. I am a full time working mom and don&#8217;t always feel as included in my son&#8217;s school as I would like. Mrs. Shorter shares stories, pictures, and even my son&#8217;s accomplishments all the time. I really appreciate her communication skills with the parents. When my son got in trouble and received a stop light card home one day, she kept us in the loop on what was going on. The next day he had a much better day, and she even sent a note home, just letting us know that he had a much better day. As parents, I can say my husband and I really appreciate that. We really like to know what is going on at school, and I feel a lot more included having Mrs. Shorter as a teacher for my son.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We really like to know what is going on at school, and I feel a lot more included having Mrs. Shorter as a teacher for my son.&#8221;&#8211;Rachel McDonald, Parent, Waugh Chapel Elementary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1001013,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"saved","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[137,130,133,132],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arundel_stories","category-aacps_story","category-community_stories","category-employee_stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1001013"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13738"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13750,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13738\/revisions\/13750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aacpsschools.org\/development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
