Partnering With Your Child's School: Workshop

A strong partnership with your child’s school can make a real difference to how your child feels, learns, and is supported. But it’s not always easy to know where to start.  

This workshop will give you practical tools and strategies to help you feel more confident working with teachers and school staff. 

You’ll learn 

• Ways to create a strong, positive relationship with your child’s school.

• How to work out what matters most for your child and share these priorities.

• Understanding school roles and how to connect with the right people for support. 

• How to work out what's causing challenges and what you can do about it.

• What adjustments and supports you can ask for and when advocacy might be needed.
