Consultation with Parents about School Handbooks

Message from Taletta Jamieson, Parental Involvement Officer for the Education Department:
There will be a Consultation Meeting regarding the School Handbook on Thursday 3rd March at Morgan Academy, Forfar Road, Dundee at 7p.m., with Lorraine Sanda of the Scottish Government. A series of these Engagement Events is taking place around the country. In order for this consultation to be as effective as possible please could you inform your parents, Parent Councils and staff that this meeting will be taking place.

From Lorraine Sanda, Parental Involvement Co-ordinator, Scottish Government:
“With the introduction of Curriculum for Excellence, there is a need for the “handbook” to be refreshed and updated, and to ensure that the information schools provide is relevant and helpful for parents. The Consultation will provide parents, Parent Councils, staff and local authorities with an opportunity to review the existing requirements and recommend any changes. If necessary, new legislation will be introduced to reflect the views coming from the Consultation”.

It is the school’s intention to include the St Clement’s Handboook within our website, which is under development just now. All ideas and suggestions are very welcome.
