COMMUNICATION – PARENT/TEACHER

At the beginning of Term 1, we have planned Parent/Carer Information Evenings to assist you in understanding class procedures, expectations and planned learning experiences for the year. These information evenings also provide parents/carers the opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification.

Formal Parent Teacher Interviews are conducted twice yearly in Terms 2 and 4. The Parent Teacher interviews allow parents to formally meet their child’s classroom teacher and discuss their child’s needs to allow the teacher to gain information pertinent to the student having a successful year of learning.  Parent Teacher interviews also allow teachers to discuss students’ formal written reports.

In addition to formal interviews, parents are encouraged to communicate with teachers to discuss their child’s progress. To contact your child’s class teacher, please email info@sjddow.catholic.edu.au, and your email will be forwarded to your child’s class teacher.
