Working in Partnership With Families

The parents of our Campbell House children have recently participated in Parent Teacher Interviews. These interviews are a valuable way for the school and families to work together to remain fully informed about the children’s current learning and development.

Steady, ongoing communication between home and school is of high significance to the educators in Campbell House. Teachers carefully prepare for the interviews as it is a privilege to be able to share in your child’s learning and development.

The role of educators during Parent Teacher Interviews is to inform, suggest, assist and guide parents on how their child is progressing in the early learning program, and ways in which they can be supported or extended, from an educator’s perspective.

Working in partnership, parents and teachers always discuss ways to enhance opportunities for children to pursue their learning and independent thinking, to create, cooperate, collaborate and negotiate. When the School and families work together in partnership, it creates a positive, powerful foundation, which is important for building happy, contented learners.

We thank parents for their interest and participation in all that is happening in the ELC classrooms. We trust that all parents who attended the recent Parent Teacher Interviews found them to be beneficial as we now progress into the second semester.
