If parents have a particular concern regarding their child, they should in the first instance speak with their child’s teacher. If the matter is unresolved, they should then request a meeting with the principal. Occasionally, parents may wish to have a matter discussed at Board of Management level. For this to happen, the matter should be communicated in writing to the Chairperson of the Board at least ten days before the next planned Board of Management meeting. Parents/Guardians will be informed of dates for Board meetings.
