Communicating with your Student's Teachers.
Through the range of platforms at Surf Coast Secondary College there is also a range of communication mediums with your students teachers. This article will detail a couple of these opportunities and some supports.
The most straightforward means of communication is via a phone call to the school (03) 5261 6633, in this instance teachers may be teaching or engaged in meeting/planning time so you may need to leave a message or organise another time for contact.
To ensure communication with your students teachers the most consistent means of communication is via Compass our Student Management Platform. Compass will allow you to communicate with the teacher via email, it is also how the teacher will communicate with you and your student. To ensure communication between parents and teachers is considered and consistent we expect teachers will respond to emails within 24 hours or the next working day.
To ensure you can speak with your students teachers organising a time for a phone call or to meet onsite through Compass will ensure you and the teacher are available and prepared. Compass will also allow you to email all of your students teachers at once.
To communicate with a your students teachers via compass you can refer to the linked guide. “You will need to be in the browser version, Menu -> Open in Browser, to do this from the app.”
