Our virtual tour of a Family Friendly Partnership School combines the concepts of architecture and improvement planning for a sustained program of actions by educators and families.
 School Office:
- The school office has no counter between the family and the office staff. Removing this barrier encourages communication and is less intimidating to the customer.
- If there is a counter, consider how to make it friendly, e.g. placement of flowers, seasonal displays, welcome sign, etc.
- Not all counters are barriers, some make it easy for people to put down papers and books as they talk.
- Help others (e.g. maintenance and food service staffs, students, etc.) in the school be aware that when they see a visitor badge on a person they should say Hello, May I help you? Welcome to our school, etc.
- In-service training for all staff is available on how to respond to the family in person or on the telephone.
If you are interested in providing some in-service training for all your staff, here is list of possible choices:
