Guadalajara - School Report Question and Answers
How is the overall communication between teachers and parents, and the administration and parents? How is communication facilitated?
School newsletter is in English but everything else is pretty much in Spanish. Home-room teacher will usually write emails in English also. Parents love using Whatsapp, everything is in Spanish. Headmaster is very approachable if you have any questions, concerns. - May 2017
C+/B- (The parent must initiate and follow up on communications, not unlike most schools. Their teachers are available via email and do respond to emails. I didn't find that any of the teachers ever reached out to me but they all were willing to talk/make time available if I wanted to discuss anything with them.) - Feb 2016
B (Depended on the teacher. Usually, teachers responded quickly to emails. - Feb 2016
C - May 2014
A. My son's teacher is very good at keeping me informed about what is going on at the school. She always emails in English. - May 2014
B- this is another area for improvement. Some teachers have reached out if my kids had issues but most have relied on parents watching the Powerschool electronic gradebook, which made me feel like a helicopter parent. Sometimes we would go to a conference or I would see a teacher and they would reference something as if I knew what they were talking about. So that was frustrating because middle school kids don't tell you everything that goes on, like elementary kids do. Having said that, overall I really like/liked most of the teachers my kids have had. - May 2014
C- teachers vary, but most information came late or at the last minute. - Apr 2014
