SSDS values the participation of parents in our school, both formally and informally.  SSDS therefore has an open door policy, meaning that parents are always welcome in their child’s classroom.

SSDS does ask that parents and faculty work together to ensure that a parent’s time in the classroom works towards their individual child’s success.  For example, if a child is struggling with separation in the morning, the teachers may recommend that the parents stay for a brief period to help the child get settled, or they may recommend that the parents say a quick good-bye and a hasty departure.  Close collaboration between parents and faculty is often the key to a successful transition.
