G. Additional Recommendations for Optimal Operations
Regular training sessions for staff and parents on school systems such as SPS360 and
Canvas to ensure smooth use and prevent any technical issues that could impact daily
operations.
A thorough review of transportation procedures, including the bus system and parent
drop-off/pickup areas, to ensure student safety at all times. This may include enhanced
security measures and further coordination with parents about pickup schedules.
Ensure that meal programs are regularly reviewed and updated based on student health
needs and parent feedback to maintain a high standard of care for student well-being.
4. Parent-Teacher Collaboration:
Foster more opportunities for parents to provide feedback on academic programs and
extracurricular activities, potentially through surveys or regular parent-teacher forums,
to ensure the school continues to meet the evolving needs of its student body.
These proposals aim to foster a safe, efficient, and high-quality learning environment for students,
where stakeholder input plays a crucial role in decision-making, and all school operations are
aligned with the school’s mission to provide excellence in education.
