FAMILY SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP
The Board and the Union recognize that family-school partnerships are fundamental to successful schools and agree that communication between the schools and parents are essential. Teachers shall provide students and families with the following information at the beginning of the school year/semester.
Course outlines/syllabus and class rules;
An explanation of what parents/guardians are expected to do to monitor the extent to which their children
are meeting class/course requirements and to maintain communication with the school.
The Board Union Contract also requires that teachers communicate with parents. A failing grade on a report card should come as no surprise to the parent if the teacher has kept them informed. There are a number of ways this can be accomplished, and a teacher may use any method they like to fulfill this requirement. Some possible methods are:
Progress reports, letters
Ask that a parent sign an assignment or score sheet
Ask that a parent sign a completed assignment or test paper
Phone the parent
