I would like to think there are many areas of agreement, but key ones are that both parents and teachers want children to enjoy coming to school, they want children to be successful, and they want children to make good progress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing I enjoy about my role is how I have many opportunities to meet with and speak with parents. I would like to take some time this afternoon to talk about the value of a positive relationship between home and school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the ways that we endeavour to build the home-school relationship is through our various methods of communication. Homeroom teachers share details via email or through SeeSaw of the areas of study for the week ahead. While the format for these is a little different for each grade level, the information aims to provide a guide for the upcoming week. At the end of the week information is shared for each homeroom class via the broadcaster post. This is when teachers look back at the week and share a reflection on the events.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another way that we are trying to build the relationship with home is via our monthly Parent-Teacher Coffee mornings. We will hold our first on Tuesday and I look forward to having the chance to meet with those who are able to attend. It will be a wonderful opportunity to discuss a range of issues and listen to differing views and ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing I would like to discuss are possible topics we could cover during Parent Workshops. In the past we have had sessions that have focused on the PYP and its features and elements, for example. It would be helpful to know if there are other topics that we could cover that would be of use and interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We look forward to building a strong home-school partnership and very much look forward to and appreciate your continued support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Polite Reminder:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Please ensure your child has a hat at school each day which must be worn during recess times. Although the temperatures are beginning to ease, it is still important to be sun safe. (Please ensure the hat has your child\u2019s name and grade level written clearly inside it.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Best Regards,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Matthew<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Primary Team Lead<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Reminders:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tuesday, 24th September (8:00 &#8211; 9:00 am): Primary \/ Secondary Parent Coffee Morning<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday, 3rd October: No school day for students (Professional Development day for staff)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday 10th October: Primary Assembly (G3-6), 12:20 &#8211; 1:00 pm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thursday 17th October: Primary Assembly (KG2-G2), 12:20 &#8211; 1:00 pm (*KG1 will not be sharing their learning during this assembly &#8211; they are not quite ready yet!)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Primary Families, What do parents and teachers agree on?
