▪ It is always best to talk to your child’s grade/subject teacher or the Head Teacher about any problem as soon as it arises.  It can often be solved very simply.

 ▪ All communication with the school must be in writing and must include the parent's or guardian's name, address, telephone and fax numbers (if possible) and the name & grade of the child.

 ▪ THE SCHOOL WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANONYMOUS TELEPHONE CALLS OR LETTERS SIGNED SIMPLY AS “CONCERNED PARENT/S” or the like.

 ▪ Notices are an essential method of communication between the School and parent/s.  Please ask your child on a regular basis if any notice or a circular has been handed out at school.  Kindly respond to these notices promptly, if requested.

 ▪ All complaints must be directed to the Head Teacher and not to individual members of the General Council or the Executive Committee.  The complaint will be investigated and a report will be issued to the complainant as soon as possible.

 ▪ There are more formal ways of making a complaint, and on some issues, you can appeal against decisions to the LICEF Executive Committee who will adjudicate. 

  ▪ No parent is allowed to confront teachers at any time.  The School has in place a Parent Code of Conduct which will apply in case of abuse of staff.

 ▪ Should there be any dispute regarding the interpretation of the rules and/or the code of conduct or any aspect or clause thereof of the School Disciplinary Code, then the meaning assigned to such a clause by the LICEF Executive Committee shall be FINAL and binding.

HOME – SCHOOL BEHAVIOR OBLIGATIONS

(TO BE SIGNED BY THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN)

INTRODUCTION.

 ▪ The School works on the principle that parents share in their child's educational partnership.  In order to do this, co-operation from the parents is essential and expected.  Each child attending this school is expected to follow laid down rules and regulations as identified in the PARENT/STUDENT HANDBOOK which is available from the Administrative Manger's office. 

▪ As  outlined in the aims and objectives of the school, any child enrolled at this School is expected to conform to the behavioral  standards and strive for consistent academic performance.  Though the School Management will make every effort to counsel the child, any learner, who, in the view of the management, is being judged to be incorrigible, a general nuisance to the class,  showing utter disrespect for the teachers,  or infringing rules or expectations, will be subjected to action as outlined in the school's Disciplinary Code without exception. 

▪ The parents are expected to talk to the class/subject teacher, the Head Teacher, (or the Principal), as soon as the problem arises.  The only arbiter in case of decisions taken by the School Management will be the LICEF Executive Committee, whose decision in all respects will be final. 

▪ The details of the obligations are as follows:
