At the beginning of the year, your child will be
issued with a ‘communication folder’ to be used as a home/school communication
book. This is to establish communication channels between parents/carers and
teaching staff. We encourage you to use this book on a daily basis, to exchange
ideas and to inform teachers of significant happenings for your child. Teachers
really appreciate a parent’s daily comments in this book and value the information
that comes from home about the child’s health matters, sleep issues, habits,
and preferences and so on. Messages to other members of your child’s team can
also be communicated through the home/school book.
The open policy of the school encourages informal
communication supported by the following:
Newsletters (each fortnight)
P & C Committee Meetings
Teacher-Parent Communication Folders
Individual Curriculum Planning
Parent information evenings
End of year celebrations
To ensure a satisfactory standard of communication
between the school and parents/carers, notification of changes to phone
numbers, addresses, medications, respite needs, alternative contacts or
guardianship should be made to administration.
