Home and School

Wolseley School maintains on-going communication with parents/guardians throughout the school year in the following manner:

telephone calls

parent/teacher/student meetings

classroom visitations

letters/notes home

student led conferences

written report cards

Parents/guardians can best support their child’s learning by

speaking with the teachers about any questions or concerns they may have

taking the time to visit the classroom and gain a better understanding of what their child is doing

Parents/guardians are informed as early as possible when students are:

experiencing difficulty and the strategies for dealing with them

unable to cope with the designated curricula, and need an adapted or modified programming

parents/guardians are informed in writing, generally by the third reporting period, if a change in program is being considered for the following year

Parents/guardians can help their children be successful at school by being supportive and positive about school work done at home. There are several ways to do this:

provide a comfortable, quiet place with a good light and away from distractions

set aside a regular time for homework or studying

ensure supplies are at hand

be available to help your child stay on task

read to your child regularly (even in the upper grades)

promote independence, "Help", but don't "Do"

be an interested, attentive audience

talk to your child's teachers if you have any questions or concerns

help ensure work is returned to school
