Parent Information
March 13, 2023
Brock Corydon School maintains ongoing communication with parents/guardians throughout the school year in the following manner:
- telephone calls
- parent/teacher/student meetings
- classroom visitations
- email/notes home
- student led conferences/tri-conferences
- written report cards
Parents/guardians can best support their child's learning by:
- speaking with teachers about any questions or concerns they might 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
