COMMUNICATION

If at any time you wish information about your child’s progress, we welcome you to call the school for a personal interview with the teacher.  The school staff will be pleased to discuss the education opportunities and programs in the school.  If problems arise, contact us promptly so we can assist you.

 

The success of your child’s learning depends to a large extent on how well parents, teachers and children work together.  Only with all of us working together, can we develop your child’s full potential-academic, physical and social.

 

BRIGDEN HOMEWORK POLICY

Brigden Public School endorses homework as a planned part of the educational process designed to enhance learning.  Homework is a means to build life-long learning skills such as self-discipline, task commitment, time management, responsibility, independence, initiative, and problem solving.  Through well-planned homework activities, students will realize that learning occurs in a variety of settings.

 

It should also be noted that the amount of homework would vary as some pupils use classroom work periods to their advantage.  Spending time at home reviewing work or reading is always beneficial, as this habit will establish a pattern for studies.

 

In order to live and work with success in a fast-changing world, our students need to develop:

·         the motivation and ability to continue to learn

·         effective communication skills

·         social skills that will allow them to participate fully in society and creative thinking skills.

 

Schools and parents must work together to help students meet these needs.
