Parent involvement

In many ways we try to involve parents in their children's school career. Besides the fact that parents can always contact the mentors/teachers about their child, we mention some organized activities.

In the first weeks of the school year, the school organizes an information evening for each grade level during which information is given on the choice of direction, profile, profession and study or other information relevant to the school year in question. For the 5 HAVO and 6 VWO examination classes an information evening is organized during which the final examination year is discussed.

Students receive a report card three times a year. After the first report there is a parents' evening where parents and students are given the opportunity to speak with the subject teachers and the mentor. These short talks are in many cases sufficient to exchange views with the teacher or solve simple problems. It is usually not possible to really go into things in depth. Of course, the small talk at the parents' evening can at least have the character of an introductory conversation, which makes it easier to make an appointment for a longer talk.

After the second period, students receive advice from their teachers in Magister. Students incorporate these advices into a personal action plan. During the parent meeting in April, students and their parents can discuss this action plan with the mentor.

The school's intranet my.lcl.co.uk provides contact information for school and staff. You can always reach our teachers through their email address: achternaam.voorletter@lcl.nl.
