Parent Information
Communication
At St Francis we believe that communication is key to fostering a thriving school community. Our communication channels include:
• Newsletters: Regular updates on school events, announcements, and highlights.
• School Website: A hub for essential information, including key dates, key information and policies.
• Email, Text Alerts and Class Charts: Prompt notifications for important updates, emergencies, reminders and individual student tracking (homework/ attendance/ behaviours).
• Progress evening and assessment reports: Opportunities for personalised discussions about student progress.
• Social Media: For real-time updates and celebrations of our school community.
We aim to acknowledge all communications within 48 hours during the school week although we do encourage staff and parents not to communicate after 18:00 or before 08:00. While we encourage open dialogue and feedback, we ask for communication to remain respectful and reasonable. Abusive, overly frequent, or unreasonable behaviour is hard for all parties and cannot be tolerated and may result in restricted contact to ensure a positive and professional environment for everyone.
