PARENT COMMUNICATION AND INVOLVEMENT:
Monthly newsletters will be distributed to inform you what we will be working on for the month and any important information and reminders SVBB Teachers may have. Each child will have a folder which will be used to distribute any paperwork, newsletters, or notices to parents. Also this is where any projects will be placed when it’s time to be taken home. It is the parent’s responsibility to check them on a regular basis, and read through all information to ensure you are aware of all special days, events, subjects of study, etc. involving your child.
During the school year SVBB will schedule quarterly parent teacher conferences with those families SVBB staff feel it necessary.
