Parent Partnerships
We firmly believe that educating young children is a partnership between home and school. We work closely with parents to understand children and their learning needs as well as provide support, parent education and updates on progress. Parents of children at Abacus are invited to play an active role in their child’s education through visits to school, sharing trips and events and volunteering.
