Parents’ Forum
Information sessions provide an opportunity for parents to meet teachers, see their child’s classroom and gain an understanding of the curriculum. It is important for parents to attend all information sessions which involve their children. Parents are encouraged to ask for assistance and information from their child’s teacher at any time during the year.
PARENTS' FORUM
Belvedere International School sets up a Parents' Forum for the Pre Prep, Prep and Senior schools over the first term. The Forum will aim to bring the school’s families together in a wholesome and nurturing spirit in numerous different ways, whilst looking to work together to enhance the teaching and pastoral facilities of the school. Any support is welcomed and invited no matter how small. Our class representatives are very welcome to come along to Forum meetings, which are held twice a term.
PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
A collaborative working relationship between parents, staff and administration enhances the experiences and education of all children at Belvedere International School. To help better define our respective roles and expectations, and in the spirit of the school we have a Parent Code of Conduct.
These guidelines provide a reminder on the basic standards of conduct expected of all our parents, guardians and visitors. Belvedere International School is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment where all members of the community treat one another with dignity and mutual respect.
By enrolling your child at Belvedere International School, parents agree to abide by all school policies including the following guidelines.
PARENTS’ MEETINGS
When informed by the school of forthcoming Parents’ meetings each term, appointments can be booked to see the class teachers. Parents’ can always see their child’s teacher but will need to make an appointment through the school reception. Staff members will then organise an appropriate time after the school day or during if urgently needed. Please remember that Staff will be very busy at the start and end of the timetabled day so will have little time to talk as they will be responsible for their pupils’ welfare.
All members of Pre Prep, Prep and Senior School Community are expected to:
- Respect the caring ethos of the School by conducting themselves in a respectful and orderly manner whenever on the school premises or when representing the School off site.
- Treat all members of the community with respect by using appropriate language and a dignified tone when speaking with others.
- Support and help your child to observe all school rules, school property and other people’s belongings.
- Communicate promptly, honestly and openly about your child and use the appropriate channels of communication provided by the School.
- All parents should show their child’s identification card on collection of pupils or when they are entering the school at reception.
- Seek to clarify a child’s version of events with the School as part of a peaceful resolution process.
- Correct any child in your care if their actions could lead to conflict, aggressive or unsafe behaviour.
- Seek information and raise concerns directly with the School through the appropriate channels.
- Promptly report your children’s absence or late arrival.
