HOME AND SCHOOL:
1. Student Newsletter.
The school publishes a weekly students' newsletter which is distributed on Fridays. Please make a point of looking for and reading this newsletter, as the students like to have their art and stories published.2. Teachers Newsletter.
Teachers write a monthly newsletter to update parents on the curricular activities that will take place during the coming month. Teachers hope that parents will follow up with their children on the different activities that are noted and be aware of the special information that is included in the newsletter.3. Parental Involvement.
Parents are a child's first and most important teachers. Parents are encouraged to take an active part in their child's education. Parental involvement in the education process should include:4. Room Parents and Other Volunteers.
