What should I do if I’m worried?

• Have a quick chat with the class teacher at the end of

the day. She might have other work to do or parents to see, but can usually speak for a few minutes.

• Use the home/school diary to make a wee note to the

teacher about your concerns or opinions.

• Ask for an appointment to speak to Mrs Leddy (Principal

Teacher, P1-3)

• Mention your concerns at Parents’ Night
• In serious or confidential matters, make an appointment

through the school office to speak to the Head Teacher.

How can you help the school?

• 1. Encourage your child in their learning.
• 2. Join our Parent Council
