COMMUNICATION
The
Timothy Times will be sent home
with your oldest child on the first day of each week. This contains a
combination of office and classroom notes, calendars and misc. Twice a
year, timed to coincide with our membership meetings, we publish the TCS
Contact. This provides a thorough
overview of what is happening at TCS, from the office to the committee
meetings, to the classrooms. A monthly calendar is attached to the first
Timothy Times of the month and an updated full year calendar listing of events
is attached to the last Times of the month. Regular updates on our school's
Shop & Support
fundraising are included with the Times. Parent-Teacher interviews are held on
the first Monday after the conclusion of Term One (usually early December).
CHAPEL
On alternate
Monday mornings, beginning at 9:00, we have a devotional
chapel
for all grades. Each class in turn is in charge of leading
chapel.
All are invited, including parents, grandparents and friends!
CALLING THE SCHOOL
If you wish to
speak to a teacher, please call between 8:20-8:45 a.m., recesses, lunch hour
or after school. See
School Hours.
The principal may also be reached at
the same times as the teachers, plus most afternoons.
ETHICAL MATTERS
It happens on
occasion that parents have questions regarding specific happenings at school.
It is requested that parents would first contact the teacher. If the
discussion is unsatisfactory, parents are advised to discuss the matter with
the principal. Should that fail to resolve the matter, the Education
Committee would be consulted. The final step, where necessary, would be to
contact the Board of Directors.
All parents are
urged to abide by these ethical procedures for several reasons:
1)
By doing so,
matters are dealt with at the right level.
2)
Most concerns can be resolved
most quickly this way.
3)
This system is applicable mostly just to
those involved. (Matt. 18)
