Home/School Communication

Many thanks to the parents who have already completed the ‘Parents are Partners’ Google feedback form that was shared via Compass on Wednesday. This information will assist our classroom teachers in developing a holistic understanding of your child. 

Classroom teachers are currently preparing parent information videos that outline specific information for the year ahead. These videos will be shared with parents next week and will replace the previously used parent information nights. 

Please refer to the following protocols regarding communication between home and school;

• COMPASS is the “font of all” information - please refer to it regularly.
• The school newsletter is also a valuable source of information (if you are reading this now, you’ve probably already figured that out!)
• If you haven’t already done so, please follow our social media sites. 
• If you need to contact the school urgently or in a time-sensitive way, please phone the school office.
• If you have a question or concern, you can call to speak with one of the staff in the office, or please email the school office at info@nscdow.catholic.edu.au. A response will be delivered by either return email or phone call when the intended addressee is available.
• You are able to organise a meeting with your child's teacher by phoning the office, emailing the office, or sending a note to school with your child. 
• See-Saw is a fabulous tool that is used to show-case and share the learning that takes place in your child’s classroom. We ask that you please limit your use of See-Saw to comments on their work. It is not intended to be used as a two way communication tool, as the teachers are teaching throughout the day and do not have the ability to read and respond to messages sent directly to them.
