Reminders
A few gentle reminders...
Front Staff Car Park
As previously communicated we have been advised by the Parish that there will be ongoing works with the Church extending into next term. For this reason the staff carpark gates need to remain open.
As it is a staff carpark and more importantly for safety reasons we ask that you do not park in there at anytime or drive in to drop off/pick up your child. Our students safety is of our utmost concern and as they use this area as a walkway the least amount of cars mobile in this area the better.
Thank you for your compliance in this matter.
Communication at Sacred Heart Kew
Your child(s) classroom teacher is always the FIRST port of call
From time to time, you may have information regarding your child that may be relevant to your child(s) classroom teacher. Or you may have a question or query, related to the classroom or another aspect of school life. In these instances, your child(s) classroom teacher is always the FIRST port of call.
Please ensure that all matters are communicated to your child(s) classroom teacher, through the admin@shkew.catholic.edu.au email address (as per our communication policy at Sacred Heart Kew - please do not directly email staff members).
Parents are also reminded that any emails received outside of school hours and on the weekend, will not be replied to or followed up until the following school day. We thank you for your understanding with this matter.
Before and After School Arrangements - Parent/Teacher Communication
Staff members are more than happy to discuss your child’s progress or other issues as they arise, but we ask that this is done by appointment. Classrooms are busy places, particularly around arrival and dismissal times with daily organisational duties required for teachers and children alike.
It is not appropriate to conduct private or sensitive conversations on the playground or in the morning before school as teachers cannot adequately respond to queries or engage in ‘a quick chat’ when they are supervising students or preparing classrooms for the upcoming day.
As above, an email to the office admin@shkew.catholic.edu.au or a note in the pouch requesting an interview or phone chat will always be followed up.
School Absences
If your child(ren) are absent please notify the school office or send notification through Skoolbag app. Please do so before 8.45am.
Student Supervision
Children are not to arrive at school before 8.30am. Teachers begin outside duty supervision at this time. If children arrive before this time they need to attend Before School Care.
Children arriving late to school
Children who arrive late to school in the morning are required to be signed in to the school office by an adult. If children are not at school by 9.30am (and no notification has been sent by parents), a follow up phone call will be made to parents, regarding the whereabouts of absent children. Punctuality is so very important in all our lives, none more so than in our children. Please aim to have your children here at school before the bell rings each day at 8.45am.
