Thomas Kidd Elementary

COMMUNICATION AT KIDD

Thomas Kidd is a strong learning community that is built upon  a communicative and collaborative partnership  between staff, students and parents. We want families to feel well informed, welcomed, included and connected to their childís school.

Communication at Kidd occurs in many different ways:

1) Questions, concerns or conversation about your child or the school are welcomed. We want your voice to be heard. If you need to meet with a teacher or Ms. Brautigam, please call the school at 668-6602 to arrange an appointment.

2) Classroom teachers frequently send class newsletters home previewing upcoming events and learning activities.

3) All students in grade 1 to 7 use student planners and these provide an opportunity for home/school communication.

3) The Thomas Kidd School Newsletter provides important  information for parents twice monthly, and a calendar of events for students goes home each month.

4) Upcoming  events for each week are posted on the TV display in the front hall. These visual messages are created by Mr. MacMath.

5) We are extremely proud of our school web site. Our web-site is created and managed by Mr. MacMath. It includes important information about upcoming events, classroom teachersí web-pages, our school handbook, learning  goals for this school year, electronic versions of our calendar and newsletter, PAC information, a message from the Principal and links to  other educational web-sites.
