Provincial Priorities
All the sessions below will be led by the Principal unless otherwise noted.
Plan for the day:
PA DAY November 17, 2023 Parent/Guardian-Teacher Meetings
Regular and on-going communication is key to supporting your child’s growth. Discussions will include the student’s progress, what is being taught in class and how parent(s)/guardian(s) can support their child’s learning and ways to differentiate instructional practices.
A communication will be sent home to parents/guardians with details of how to arrange a meeting. These meetings will be planned twice a year, November and February, between the teacher and parent/guardian and may include the child.
Parents will be informed of the time of their meeting, once it is scheduled.
