Parent Meetings: Building Strong School-Home Partnerships
At Vallaba Schools, we believe that parents and teachers are partners in every child’s learning journey. Through regular orientations, four annual Parent-Teacher Meetings, and opportunities for parent volunteering, we foster open communication and shared responsibility—ensuring each student receives the support and encouragement they need to thrive, both at school and at home.
Parents
Parents are the first teachers of their children. We think of teachers as parents at school and parents as teachers at home. Teacher – Parent partnership in the learning process in school is therefore for a child’s performance in school, as many studies have confirmed. We strive to partner with our students’ parents at every opportunity.
New Parent Orientation
New parents attend orientation programmes at the beginning of each academic year to understand school’s expectations and practices.
Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs)
The first one happens at the end of the first month of the academic year. The objective is to set expectations for the year and share some quick feedback.
The remaining three happens at the end of every term along with report card & teacher comments. Apart from the discussions on student performance in term exams, various student improvements and behaviors are shared. By interacting with the parents, the teachers learn more about the child and are, therefore, able to respond to his/her learning needs. PTMs ensure that the teachers and parents work together to ensure that all needs of the child are catered to.
Parent Volunteers
Parents are invited to be part of school events and performances. Parents contribute their artworks for display during an art exhibition. They volunteer during cultural performances for event management/student make-up/choreography and participate in field trips.
