Communicating with your child’s teacher
We value our partnership with you in supporting your child’s faith, learning and wellbeing. Respectful, informed and open communication is vital in our work together, and can be both formal and informal throughout the year.
To ensure that our teaching time with your children is maximised during the day, any messages or communication must be directed via a phone call or email to our school office only info_holycross@dow.catholic.edu.au and not via SEESAW.
- To request a time to meet with your child’s teacher, please email or call the school office. This will be passed on to the teacher, and a mutually suitable time will be made.
- To communicate non urgent matters, please email or call the school office, and it will be passed on and responded to in a timely manner.
- An urgent matter- please call the school office.
