Parent-School Partnership
At FPS we believe that a strong parent-school partnership is critical for a child’s successful development, hence we strive to work together with the parents from the very onset to enable them to make the best decisions for their child.
We expect the parent community to be active stakeholders at FPS and we take concrete steps to foster this partnership which is based on trust, transparency and communication. We use multiple and holistic channels to communicate with our parent community and expect their full cooperation in return.
