About Us > Communication with Parents
Communication with Parents

We view parents as an important link in the team to ensure we are meeting the needs and strengths of our students. Accountability is a major emphasis at Turnbull School and our teachers value the importance of giving feedback to our parents as well as receiving feedback from the home perspective. Regular communication takes the form of phone calls from teachers, newsletters, informal meetings, interviews, Student Led Conferences, written communications in the student agenda, voice mail and detailed report cards each term. We also provide a private website for our parents and students to receive timely information on long term assignments, evaluation criteria as well as class and school news. Our parents appreciate how well informed we keep them!

We are committed to providing a supportive learning environment which encourages students to achieve their potential in an enriching and structured program. The response from our parents and students has shown us that our vision of the ideal school is being created in a nurturing and motivating atmosphere: 

  • "We are grateful to have found a school that clearly shows its dedication toward education and a love of the students it educates."
  • "Teachers are all hard working and their enthusiasm, dedication and innovations are appreciated."
  • "You have given me a child who now "loves" school, who is much happier, much more confident, and who has made tremendous gains in reading, writing and spelling and who now says math is her favourite subject!" 
  • "We are overwhelmingly pleased with the programs at Turnbull School. The frequent contact with the teachers is an excellent aspect."
  • "A caring atmosphere from teacher to student which in turn creates an excellent student to student relationship."
  • "The organization skills are taught and students are aided in developing them."
  • "The approach to science has made learning fun."
