Good two-way communication between families and schools is necessary for your child’s success. Should you or your child encounter a classroom-related concern, you are encouraged to reach out to the classroom teacher as a point of first contact. Administration may become involved should further problem resolution be required.
It is incumbent upon parents, as outlined in the Education Act (referenced below), to contribute to positive and respectful relationships with school personnel. Therefore, parents are asked to contact the school as a means to resolve issues and refrain from posting negative comments about the school or its employees on social media.
Section 32 of the Education Act states that parents have the responsibility to:
(d) ensure that the parent’s conduct contributes to a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environment,
(e) co-operate and collaborate with school staff to support the delivery of supports and services to the child,
(f) encourage, foster and advance collaborative, positive and respectful relationships with teachers, principals, other school staff and professionals providing supports and services in the school, and
(g) engage in the child’s school community.
