WELCOME TO 2025
As partners in your child's education, we understand the importance of collaboration between parents, teachers, and students. Together, we can create a supportive and enriching environment that fosters academic success, personal development, and a love for learning.
Here are a few key points to kick off the school year:
Communication is Key: We believe in open and transparent communication. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teachers with any questions, concerns, or feedback. Regular updates will be shared through newsletters and school communication platforms.
Engage in Your Child's Education
Stay involved in your child's learning journey. You are invited to participate in school events and join parent committees or the school board. Your active involvement makes a significant impact on your child's educational experience.
Establish a Routine
A consistent daily routine at home can greatly contribute to your child's success in school. A well-balanced routine supports their overall well-being and academic performance.
Encourage a Growth Mindset
Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Encourage your child to view mistakes as part of the learning process and to persist in the face of difficulties. A positive attitude towards learning can enhance their resilience and confidence.
Stay Informed
Keep yourself informed about school policies, important dates, and school expectations. This year we will be using Simon Everywhere app (PAM), Facebook and the newsletter as our primary communication tools - please check these platforms for updates.
We are excited to partner with you in shaping a positive and enriching educational experience for your child. Here's to a fantastic school year filled with joy, growth, and achievement! If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Together, we can make this school year a remarkable journey for your child.
