For Parents

Partnership with parents...

Children learn best when teachers and parents work together. Staff at George Street Normal School work hard to encourage a successful partnership between home and school.

“The school has very effective processes for engaging parents as partners in their children’s learning. There is regular communication between the school, teachers and parents. The school operates an open-door policy that welcomes parents’ questions and ideas. Parent-teacher interviews focus on developing and reviewing individual learning goals and how these may be achieved. Newsletters and information/workshop evenings inform parents, for example, about learning initiatives. Teachers provide parents with detailed information on classroom programmes and how they can support their child’s learning, for example, in reading and with homework.“
