Communicating With Your School

Providing the best education possible requires ongoing, open, and effective communication between parents, teachers, and students.  A strong relationship between home and school is an important part of helping all children reach their full potential in their school environment.

From time to time there may be a misunderstanding, lack of communication, or a situation that requires attention.  When this happens all parties must work together to resolve the matter.

Collaboration is the Key to Success

Some tips for resolving concerns:

• ​Listen to Your Child – help your child by listening carefully to their views and ask questions that will help you gather information.  How and what questions are best for gathering relevant information – avoid why questions because they can evoke a defensive reaction.
• Identify the Concern – Talk with your child to help identify and clarify any problems.  Do not assume or predict that there is a problem.
• Encourage Independent Problem Solving – resolving concerns independently is an important life skill that will benefit your child.  Encourage your child to use strategies that may resolve the concern without your help.
• Model Respect – discussing a school or teacher negatively in the presence of your child may affect attitudes toward school or teachers.
• Know the Facts – ensure you get all of the facts before reaching a conclusion on the matter.
• Make Notes – make notes on the information your child has provided because it may be useful later.
• Plan – you may have some suggestions prepared to share with teachers and other staff.  A solution is more likely if a number of options are discussed.
