Families as Partners

Families are an integral part of a child’s education.
We are committed to building a supportive and inclusive community where families know each other and our staff well.
To develop a strong partnership with families we have an open-door policy, communicate weekly with families, and provide volunteer opportunities.

Open Doors

Our open door policy implies that directors and staff are aways available

Families are welcome to stop-by and take a “behind the scenes” peek at their child in the classroom. As parents, we know how reassuring and comforting it is to see your child enjoying the day.
Families can also stop-by and meet with the Directors at any time. We appreciate receiving feedback and value new ideas.
Teachers organize parent-teacher conferences twice a year. Besides these meetings, families can set up meetings with a teacher as needed.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are multiple volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. Parent/guardians can volunteer:

Teachers provide families with a weekly newsletter. The newsletter describes what students learned throughout the week, it showcases the projects students are working on, provides information on additional resources, and gives a brief preview of the upcoming week.

As parents, we know how exciting it is to see your child learning and interacting with others. With parental permission, photos and videos of learners are posted on the secure private page on our website. Global Idea families are the only ones with access to the private page.
