Dear Parents\/Carers,<\/p>\n
Parent-Teacher: Telephone Conversations<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of our commitment to work in partnership with parents and carers, time is regularly planned into the school calendar to report on children\u2019s progress.\u00a0 Generally, each academic year, the class teacher would meet with parents twice to discuss the progress made by each pupil and the year would end with a full written report.\u00a0 This year has been a little different with our first set of consultations replaced by an interim report.<\/p>\n Currently, Covid-19 restrictions are preventing face to face meetings. We now plan to hold telephone conversations<\/strong> for those parents who wish this. <\/strong>In order to support children and families, staff will engage in conversations<\/strong> with you about your child\u2019s well-being as well as some aspects of their progress in their learning<\/strong>. \u00a0Due to the high number of calls staff will approach conversations in a similar way and time frame to parents evening appointments and therefore, phone calls will be around 8 minutes in duration.\u00a0 Staff have agreed to offer two dates to parents in each class- this provides families with some flexibility and also supports staff. These conversations will take place on Tuesday 30 March<\/strong> or Wednesday 31 March.<\/strong> Please be aware that the call may come from a withheld number.<\/strong><\/p>\n As always, if there are any other things you feel that you require to discuss, then arrangements should be made with the school in the normal way by contacting our school office in the first instance.<\/p>\n Please book your time using our parental booking system- the link is provided below:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.parents-booking.co.uk\/cumbernauldprimary<\/a><\/p>\n (<\/strong>You need to type this address into your website browser\u2019s \u2018address bar\u2019.

You will be shown your child\/children and their teachers. Tick the teacher you wish to book and enter your availability. The wizard will then use this information to calculate the best order for your appointments, allowing you to navigate the teachers in the quickest and most efficient manner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If for any reason, you are unable to book a time on the system, please contact a member of our office staff and they will assist you.<\/p>\n Normally children would normally attend with you; however, this is trickier via the phone. Therefore, we would ask you to take note of the key points discussed with your child\u2019s class teacher in order to facilitate discussion with your child after the call. Please note these meetings should not be recorded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An end of year report will be prepared by your child\u2019s teacher and distributed in June. Thank you for your ongoing patience, support and understanding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay safe and take care.<\/p>\n Yours sincerely<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ed Clinton<\/p>\n Head Teacher<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parent’s of children in P2b please click the link below.<\/p>\n Parental Consultations Letter- Miss Richmond<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Parents\/Carers, Parent-Teacher: Telephone Conversations As part of our commitment to work in partnership with parents and carers, time is regularly planned into the school calendar to report on children\u2019s progress.\u00a0 Generally, each academic year, the class teacher would meet … Continue reading \n
