For JH Parents

  1. It is important to maintain regular and healthy communication. Families are also responsible to maintain contact with teachers/school. Teacher emails are found on the grade pages, and the school phone number is 780-766-9103.


  1. We do not expect parents to assume the role of teaching. Teachers will continue to provide a rigorous program of learning and assessment.


  1. Provide an appropriate learning environment for their child(ren) that ideally includes internet access and is:

    • Quiet

    • Free of distractions

    • Facilitates learning

    • Proximity to caregiver/guardian


  1. Respect the working hours of the teacher. Teachers are available during the regular school day. Contact outside of these times will be acknowledged by the end of the next working day.


  1. Have open, honest conversations with your child(ren) about their learning.

    • Ask them to show you their Google Classroom/work.

    • Enquire about screen-time balance.

    • Ask them to show you some feedback they’ve received from a teacher.


  1. If your child(ren) are struggling with home-owned devices and the issue(s) can not be resolved, arrange for a school/district-owned device for home use.


  1. In case of concerns, questions or illness:

  • Contact your child(ren)’s teacher by phone or email as soon as there is a concern.

  • If your child(ren)’s teacher has created a Google form, you can use it to allow the teacher to be aware of any concerns or new developments in your child’s life that would affect their learning.

  • If you have worked with the teacher and have not resolved the issue, contact the school administration.
