Communication Channels
We want communication to be clear, simple and supportive - for both families and staff. Here’s how we keep in touch and share important information throughout the school year:
Face to Face with Teachers
In Playground
Many teachers are visible at the end of the school day - ideal for a quick chat or question. Members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) are also visible in the mornings and can be approached if required.
Parent Consultations
We hold parents consultations twice per school year, where you will be able to discuss your child’s progress with their teacher.
Seesaw App for Families
Seesaw is our main communication tool for all year groups and the app can be download to your phone/tablet. We use Seesaw to:
-
Share weekly snapshots of your child’s learning
-
Post important dates and classroom updates
-
Send whole-school announcements and newsletters.
🔔 Please note: Messages for teachers should not be sent via Seesaw. If you need to get in touch, please contact the school admin office. QR codes to access your child’s account will be sent out in September
School Admin Office
If you need to contact your child’s teacher e.g. pass on a message, contact the school admin office by:
-
Phone: 01786 237933
-
Email: rvrsdeps@stirling.gov.uk
-
In person
All messages are handled confidentially and directed to the appropriate member of staff.
