PARENTAL CONTACT PROTOCOL
Teachers are very happy to discuss with you the progress of your child, and answer any questions or concerns that you may have about them. Please make an appointment through the Office in order to arrange a time which is mutually convenient for both you and the teacher.
Teachers should not be approached for detailed discussion of your child’s progress when they are in the classroom at the beginning or end of the day. This time forms part of their preparation time for the day.
Thank you for your cooperation.
