Beenleigh State School prides itself on its
communication with parents. This
involves newsletters, regular notes and updates about school
procedures/routines, phone calls and emails with parents. Parents are also welcome at our fortnightly
assemblies and at our academic award celebrations as we celebrate the
achievements and efforts of our student body.
It
is vital that parents/carers form a strong, open relationship with their
classroom teacher, as this is the person in the school who will come to know
your child best. They are the person who will initiate conversations about how
best to help your child, and they will be able to problem-solve situations with
you. Parents/carers and teachers need to work closely together for the benefit
of each child.
Parents are invited to an individual parent-teacher
interview once a Semester to discuss their child’s progress within the
classroom. These parent-teacher interviews take in discussions about student
progress, as well as their child’s social emotional development. The interviews take place at the end of Term
1 and Term 3 with Interim report cards. Formal Report Cards issued at the end of Term 2 and
Term 4.
