Communication
Newsletters
Weekly newsletters will be sent home with your child to keep you up to date with information relating to the school. These letters will be numbered to allow parents to keep a check on whether they are receiving them. Newsletters can also be emailed to parents (with most attachments) if a current email address is provided. Newsletters are usually distributed Thursday each week.
Appointments
Parents are most welcome to make an appointment to meet the classroom teacher. Any area of concern is best dealt with as soon as possible. Please phone the office to arrange a suitable interview time.
Phone Calls
We would request that all telephone conversations to teachers be restricted to the times when classes are not in progress. General office hours are listed below.

Reports
Assessment of students occurs on a continuing basis throughout the year and a range of techniques is used. An interim report is given out at the end of term one and full written reports are issued at the end of second and fourth terms. Appointments for interviews will be arranged for the mid-year report time, and all parents are encouraged to take this opportunity, but at year-end parents will need to request an appointment if an interview is required. Regular communication between parents and teachers is encouraged.
