Family and School Communication
The staff will communicate with parents/guardians in a positive and supportive manner that encourages the parent/guardian-child relationship.
Families will be regularly informed of classroom program plans through weekly lesson plans and monthly newsletters, which are posted outside the classroom and on our website, www.lakeharrietumpreschool.org. Special events will be posted on a family bulletin board, on our website and a notice will be sent home. An all school newsletter is posted monthly to help families be informed of upcoming events, changes in policies, and recent program happenings. If you have provided us with an email address, monthly emails will be sent to you highlighting upcoming events and reminding you to look on the website for updates. If you do not receive email or do not have internet access, please make arrangements with your child's teacher for printed copies of notices.
Family involvement is necessary to the continuing success of the program. Parents/guardians are welcome any time and are encouraged to share time and talent in the classroom and to go on field trips. A written family evaluation is conducted annually to help the staff evaluate the program and to continually improve the quality.
Privacy / Confidentiality
We shall maintain confidentiality and shall respect each family's right to privacy refraining from disclosure of confidential information and intrusion into family life. However, when we are concerned about a child's welfare, it is permissible to reveal confidential information to agencies and individuals who may be able to act in the child's interest.
We obtain written permission from a parent/guardian prior to releasing confidential information except in cases of maltreatment and maintain these permissions in the child's record.
