F.A.O. 3rd Year Parent/Guardian
As we come towards the date of your daughter’s Parent /Teacher Meeting, we would like to remind you of the procedures we have in place to make it as successful as possible for everyone.
The purpose of these meetings is to enable Parents/Guardians to discuss their daughter’s progress in school with Teachers. Matters appropriate to such discussions may include:
- Your daughter’s behaviour, participation, punctuality and attendance
- Any specific learning difficulties
- Student motivation
- Completion of homework
- Level of academic attainment
The Parent /Teacher Meeting aims to provide the Teacher with any relevant background information that might affect the student’s learning and performance, and so to improve the quality of her general development.
Parents/Guardians are reminded that all of the teaching staff have their daughter’s best interests at heart, and that advice offered is for the student’s own good. It is the positive working relationships between Teacher and Parent/Guardian that enables students to achieve their full potential.
Procedure:
- Meeting runs from 3:35pm – 6:05pm. (Doors open at 3:20PM. Doors close at 5:35pm)
- Meeting takes place in the Hall, Library and Music Room. A copy of the floor plan is available via email.
- Meetings should be conducted in a mutually respectful and supportive manner.
- Consultation must be confined to the area of responsibility of the particular Teacher.
- Matters relating to school policy should be referred to the Principal/Deputy Principals.
- To facilitate Teacher contact with all Parents/Guardians it is necessary to confine discussions with each teacher to a maximum of 3 minutes.
- Please allow adequate time to meet all the teachers. Doors will close at 5:35pm. This ensures that Parents/Guardians have enough time to see the Teachers. Arriving late may jeopardise your chance of meeting all the Teachers you hope to meet.
- If there is need for further discussion time with an individual Teacher or the Year Head, this can be arranged at a future date by contacting Reception and arranging an appointment.
- Please sign in on arrival and sign out on departure.
- Dates of Meetings are communicated via the school calendar, which Parents/Guardians receive at the beginning of the school year. These meetings are also available to view on our school website in the Calendar section.
- Please inform the school in advance if you are unable to attend the meeting.
Extra parking is available in the school tennis courts beside the hockey pitch for this event. This can be accessed through the black gates beside the Staff car park exit.
