Class Links

What Are Class Links?

Class Links are parent volunteers who provide support to their class teachers. The ways in which teachers may need support are different from grade to grade and from teacher to teacher.

The Class Links network is NOT a decision-making body, nor is it a parent-representative forum.

Usually, a class has two Class Links. They maintain contact with the other Links in their grade, with the Link Coordinators, the class teacher, and parents. 

They are responsible for the following:

● Being admins on the Class WhatsApp Group

● Channeling information from the class teacher to the class parents, and vice versa

● Supporting the class community by making everyone feel connected and welcome. Lots of room for initiative!

● Routing parent queries to the appropriate person within the school

● Driving parental support and involvement for various class /school initiatives, e.g. Sports Days, Cake Sales and Class parties.

● and last but not least - acknowledging the teacher's birthday!

ALL Parents and Guardians are asked to complete this form: 🤝Consent to Share Contact Details
