What is the student/teacher ratio?
The student/teacher ration is…
What should I do before my child starts school?
Before the school year begins, find out as much as you can about the school your child will attend. Schools—even schools in the same district—can differ greatly. Don’t rely only on information about a school from other parents—their child might have different needs and expectations from a school than yours.
What can I do at home to help my child succeed in school?
Create a home environment that encourages learning and schoolwork. Establish a daily routine that includes time for homework.
How can I tell how well my child is doing in school?
Ask your child to show their school work, and note the grades and any comments made by the teacher. Check report cards carefully for grades, attendance and conduct. Ask the teacher or school counsellor for other kinds of information about your child’s performance, such as test scores and teacher observations or if your child requires additional help with their studies.
How can I get the most out of parent-teacher conferences?
Set up a parent/teacher conference early in the school year. Let the teacher know that you are interested in your child’s education and that you want to be kept informed of their progress.
