Dear Parents,

Welcome to Theoline L. McCoy Primary School!

Our school prides itself on:

• promoting a healthy, safe environment.
• giving information that supports you and your child.
• providing clearly communicated school rules and routines.
• guidance related to school procedures, systems and collaboration
• being here for you and your family.

Parents (including legal guardians and legal custodians) have a critical role in the education of their children. Years of research and numerous studies reveal that the children of parents who are involved in their education do better in school and in life than the children of parents who are not involved, regardless of the socioeconomic status of the family. We encourage you to participate in school activities as they occur during the year and to support education in your home.

We strive to make families feel comfortable in making inquiries and will do our best to be responsive to your suggestions and concerns. Regular contact between parents and school personnel, effective communication and teamwork are essential components of student success. Communication is most effective when parents and teachers recognize that each has important information to share, will listen to the other carefully and act in a courteous and respectful manner. It is our expectation that all members of our school community will model civility and good manners.

We look forward to joining you in working toward the optimal achievement of all students. It is our hope that our partnership will lead to a happy, safe, positive experience for all children in our school.

Sincerely yours,

Ms. Kimberly Watler
Principal, Theoline McCoy Primary School
