How much are parents involved? How frequent is communication with teachers?
We encourage as much parent participation as possible. These hours may be devoted to whatever activity to which the parents feel they can most effectively contribute- for example, special classroom projects, field trips, preparation of classroom materials, gardening, special skills, etc. Many parents take a very active role in assisting in the enrichment of their child’s classroom and spend many hours doing so. There are opportunities to communicate briefly with teachers on a daily basis after 3:00 p.m. and requests for longer discussions may be made at any time during the academic year. Formal parent/teacher conferences are scheduled in October and January.
