Meet the Teacher (& PTA) Meeting

Start: 14th Sep 2016 5:30pm

Duration: 2 hours, until 7.30pm

As advertised at the end of last term, we will be holding a ‘Meet the Teacher Night’ on Wednesday, 14th September. You are invited, with your child/children, to visit school and meet your new class teacher. The evening will include a short talk from your child’s new teacher, who will provide practical information about their year group, such as:- the curriculum we will be covering this year, classroom routines, PE days, expectations re reading and homework, how the VLE is used in your year group, class behaviour systems, class assemblies and crucially, avenues for communication between yourselves and class teachers, so that you know the best ways to get in touch if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns. There will be an opportunity to ask questions too.

Each year group will do their brief presentations twice during the evening – at 5.30pm and at 6.45pm. Following the presentation you may wish to have a look around your child’s classroom / school. There will be a chance to discuss your child’s progress at the November parents’ evening.

If you have any suggestions as to information you would like class teachers to cover in their talks, please let us know.

This year representatives from our PTA (Parents’ and Teachers’ Association) will also be here to meet you. This will allow you the opportunity to find out more about how you can get involved in the amazing work they do enhancing the social life of our school, whilst raising much appreciated funding to extend the opportunities and experiences we are able offer our children. Please pop into the school hall at any time during the evening to say hello and to find out more. At 6.15pm they will be holding their AGM which is a great opportunity for you to hear the headlines on their work over the last 12 months. The meeting usually lasts about 10 minutes!

The Book Fair will be open throughout our Meet the Teacher Evening.
