School, teachers and parents
Messages between school, tutor and family.
Messages about children should be clear, kind and brief. Start with the child's name and class, state the point in one or two lines, and end with thanks. For sensitive topics, ask to talk by phone or in person instead.
Do not share a child's marks or private details in a group. Use a private chat.
