Dear Parents

To address the need for observation and childcare, the hallway can indeed be a great alternative. By placing chairs in the hallway, parents can still keep an eye on their children through the windows while also giving the teacher and students the necessary space to carry out the lesson. This way, they can be available for quick assistance without interrupting the class.

The hallway setup allows parents to engage in quiet conversations if needed, without disrupting the class. It's a win-win situation that supports the child protection policy while also respecting the educational process. Plus, the windows serve as a clear visual connection, ensuring that parents can see the magic unfolding inside the classroom without actually being in it and potentially disturbing the flow of the lesson.

So, let's all agree to keep the conversations and phone chimes in the hallway, creating a harmonious balance between parental involvement and an uninterrupted drama class experience. After all, the show must go on, and we want every child to shine in the spotlight without any unexpected intermissions!

Thank you
