Contact between the Programme and Parents
- Teachers use the telephone to contact parents for all urgent
matters. The telephone is also used in this way by the Lycée/Collège,
especially for urgent questions concerning welfare, discipline or
absence from school.
- Please take care to fill in both your home and work telephone
numbers carefully (as well as mobile numbers) on forms returned to the
Lycée/Collège and on the Programme's re-enrolment form.
- The ALA-ELP Newsletter, and letters about events such
as GCSE examination registration and primary assemblies are sent home
as printed documents with pupils. Teachers tell pupils
to give parents these documents on the evening of the day they receive
them. This distribution may be backed up with email reminding parents
to ask their son/daughter for the document.
- For secondary pupils only, the Programme and individual teachers
use the 'carnet de liaison' as a routine means of communication.
Please ask your child if there are messages in this regularly,
and sign messages to show you have read them. You may reply with a
message in the 'carnet'.
- Certain important documents are sent by post. These include bills
from the ALA-ELP association, re-enrolment
forms, letters about options and primary emergency information forms.
The agenda for the ALA-ELP annual general assembly and the reports
from the ALA-ELP President and the Head of Programme that go with it
are mailed in this way.
- Secondary school reports are sent by post by the Lycée/Collège.
These include English National marks. They are sent towards the end of
each term and in a shortened form (the 'relevé des notes') just before
half term for the first two terms for Collège classes (6ème-3ème).
- For many matters, both urgent and non urgent, the Programme's
preferred means of communication with parents is email. Thanks
to the work of the parents' association, we can send an email message
to all parents or to selected groups (such as all primary parents or
all parents of pupils in 2nde, etc.). Please
help us to make sure that this syetm works well. Take care that you have filled in your current email address(es)
on your re-enrolment form each year. If you change one or both of the
addresses given by you on this form, please let us know as soon as
possible. Inform Mrs Howen at
secretary@enpferney.org
or on 04 50 40 82 66.
