Parent Participation

At Dovercourt School we believe that education is a joint responsibility between home and school. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged to enrich our school and your child's education. Parents can become involved by:  

• Encouraging your child to talk about what they have learned and celebrating their achievements.  
• Becoming acquainted with the teacher and other school staff.  
• Attending the various functions provided for parents and students at the school.  
• Assisting with fieldtrips and special events.  
• Attending student progress conference and talking to the teacher when you have a question or concern anytime during the school year.  
• Contacting the principal if you have a concern or wish to share a special event in your child’s life.
• Attending School Council meetings.

Dovercourt School Council (DSC):  This group of parents meets once a month (dates on SchoolZone) to work with school administration and staff to discuss and develop school priorities.  As well, this group gives assistance with the organization of many school-wide activities.  Please consider joining this group; together we can make Dovercourt stronger.
