Parent/school relations

DJCS encourages on-going parent-teacher and parent-school relationships. Parents may call on the teachers or the principal should they want to discuss information about their child’s progress or a concern that they may have. Should problems or concerns arise, it is expected that students, parents and staff will work together in a spirit of cooperation to reach an acceptable solution that will be in the child’s best interests.

Parents are also encouraged to actively participate in the classroom as a resource. Parents who wish to help out in the class should speak to the teacher at least one week in advance. Passive observing in classrooms is not encouraged and tends to be disruptive. In special circumstances speak to the principal.
