School Newsletter

Information and notices are communicated through the weekly Crawshawbooth Primary School Newsletter published on Friday and delivered via Sway.  At Crawshawbooth Primary School we strive to reduce our carbon footprint and provide greater access to information to our school community through a number of digital platforms. 

Class Dojo

A great application to support children, parents and teachers connected. Online platform which enables teachers and parents to swap important information and messages. 
 

Information Evening

Parent/Carer -Teacher information sessions are held early in the school year at each year level to introduce the teacher to the parent/carer community and to establish an understanding of:

Curriculum Content
The Learning Process
Expected Levels of Achievement

Throughout the year, additional information sessions are held as required to inform parents/carers about residentials, specific school programs, transition programs and other curriculum initiatives.

Parent/Carer -Teacher Discussions

Formal meetings are held in the Autumn and Summer terms. These meetings focus on student attitudes and the development of targets for each pupil each. Individual learning goals are co-constructed with parents/carers, teacher and your child during these discussions.
An open invitation exists for parents and carers to arrange personal interviews whenever the need arises throughout the school year. Appointments need to be made with teachers, although a quick conversation can occur on the door in the mornings, but we would advise a separate meeting or communication through dojo. 

Reports

Parents/Carers will be provided with reports in July. These reports are designed to give parents/carers an account of each student’s attitude, achievements and performance. An opportunity to discuss reports is offered to parents/carers. Parents/Carers will need to arrange appointments with the class and specialist teachers.

Celebration Assembly

Celebration Assembly is held on Friday afternoons at 2.30pm in the school hall. The school choir often perform plus news items, announcements and musical presentations by classes or individuals. The achievements of children are recognised and sporting results and house points are shared. Parents are welcome to attend and are notified by text message.

School Council

School Council welcomes community feedback and opinion. Members of the school council are available for consultation.  Parents are encouraged to interact with the School Council by:

·         Presenting views personally or by signed letters

·         Responding to surveys

·         Involvement in school council sub committee activities.

Parents/Carers are invited to attend and observe School Council meetings. School Council will communicate via a report in the school newsletter after each Council meeting.
Communication is an essential part of any organisation, and schools are no exception. At Crawshawbooth Primary we have implemented a range of initiatives to ensure everyone in the school community is informed about what is happening and has the opportunity to contribute to school life.
