Parent-school relationships

Constant parental engagement in schoolwork and activities is essential for the positive achievement of teaching/educational outcomes. The aim of teachers is to establish a sound basis for real and consistent collaboration with families, compliant to the specifications set in the parent-school partnership. This is achieved by means of: · Class meetings, involving all parents and teaching staff · Year/section meetings, involving teaching staff and class

representatives · Weekly one-on-one meetings with teachers · Individual parent-teacher interviews
