At Northport Elementary, we value open, respectful, and effective communication between home and school. We believe that strong partnerships with families contribute significantly to student success, safety, and well-being. As we begin a new school year, we would like to share our communication protocol and explain why it’s in place.
When questions or concerns arise, we ask that families first connect directly with the staff member most closely involved. For example:
-
If the question relates to classroom instruction, expectations, or routines, please begin by reaching out to your child’s teacher or early childhood educator.
-
If it involves a specific program (e.g., special education), please contact the educator or support staff assigned to that area.
-
If further support is needed, our administrative team is always here to assist.
This approach is outlined in Bluewater District School Board Administrative Procedure AP 7380-D: Parent and Community Concerns. The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that communication is respectful, timely, and solution-focused. You can review the procedure here:

We are committed to responding in a timely manner and working collaboratively with you. Please also note that most school communication (newsletters, updates, and reminders) will be shared via email and posted on our school website and social media channels. If your contact information changes, please let the office know right away to avoid missing important updates.
Thank you for partnering with us in creating a supportive and connected school community.
