Communication and Parent/Teacher Partnership
We have an open door policy in Room 9, and encourage parents to take the time to come and look around our room before and after school. The children are very proud of their work and are always keen to share their learning with you.
If you have any questions or concerns about your child, I am always available to speak to parents any day before school, as well as Wednesday through to Friday after school. (Monday and Tuesday afternoons are my meeting and duty days).
