School Communication
The following information outlines the appropriate steps for Parents and Staff when dealing with school-related matters. We are all Partners in Learning.
To build a positive relationship with your school ….
- meet the staff early in the school year;
- be informed about your child’s class and school activities;
- send a note or make a call to recognize a job well done;
- be involved in your school’s PAC;
- be willing to listen and learn;
- remember that both you and school staff are interested in your child’s success.
Suggestions for Parents
- Step 1: Start with the person whose action has given rise to the concerns or problem. This is the person who can best address your concern.
- Step 2: If you need further assistance with your concern, your school's principal / vice-principal is there to help.
- Step 3: If you feel your concerns are not resolved, contact an Assistant Superintendent at 604-859-4891, ext.1233.
- Step 4: If a decision of a district administrator significantly affects the education, health or safety of a student, the student and/or parent may appeal in writing to the Board of Education through the Secretary-Treasurer's office. Email: tracy.orobko@abbyschools.ca
