Home Room Information

Throughout the primary years of schooling, the classroom teacher is the focal point for each student. As students commence secondary studies they are often faced with changes that can create stressful situations – new teachers, different classes, moving to different rooms, different text books and stationary to remember, and subject equipment to organize. The Homeroom teacher assists students with this process, empowering them adapt to the changes during this time of transition. Students connect with their Homeroom teacher, viewing them as their anchor and key support person throughout this transition.

The Homeroom teacher becomes a good listener, an encourager and a character role model, as well as the main link in communication between home and school. Prompt follow-up of any student difficulty or circumstance to ensure a lasting effective solution is vitally important to our staff. With teachers, parents and students working together in partnership, we are better able to ensure the best possible learning experiences for each child.
