Support

✓Ensure that their child comes to school dressed appropriately, well-rested, and on time

✓Keep track of schoolwork (homework, schedule, ClassDojo, report cards, parent-teacher conferences, etc.)

✓Support your child through tough times — without doing things for them

✓Agree to the rules and regulations

✓Trust the team first and foremost: in case of disagreement, contact the teacher involved before jumping to conclusions—the child’s account is valuable, but not always complete

✓Respect the teachers and staff in front of your child—an adult’s word deserves to be heard before being questioned

✓Communicate constructively within the established framework (ClassDojo, meetings)—never in a rush or when emotions are running high

✓Participate in school events

✓Enforce the ban on cell phones, smartwatches, and all personal digital devices at school

Strive for the right balance between protection and autonomy—in both directions. Overprotecting a child in real life does them a disservice: without facing effort, constraints, or disagreement, they won’t develop the resilience they’ll need. Conversely, the same child left alone at night to navigate social media and inappropriate content is exposed to dangers that are often the most invisible. Your vigilance regarding their digital life—the time they spend online, the content they consume, and the people they interact with—is not an intrusion; it is a necessity.

A child’s success is always the result of a shared effort. It is this triangle of trust— staff, families, and students —that we build together, every day.
