Parents are encouraged to contact and visit the school to discuss children's progress, well-being or behaviour and to offer their opinions and suggestions. They are also encouraged and welcomed into the school to take an active role in their child's education. Parent helpers are involved in many learning activities under the guidance of the class teacher. Parents are kept informed of important dates, school events and activities through regular notes, weekly press reports and a monthly newsletter. There is an active parents association and school board, in which parents are encouraged to become involved.
Pupils normally transfer from primary to secondary between the ages of 11.5 and 12.5 so that they will have the opportunity to complete at least four years of secondary education. Pupils from St Teresa's normally transfer to Taylor High School, New Stevenston.
