To mention this to the teacher re parent volunteer

I don't know what is the protocol with parent volunteers but I felt unhappy with the following situation.

Parent of dds friend volunteers and checks some of her work- its a reading test. Parent texts me to say she thought dd had memorised all words, not reading them. She put it nicely, but I found it a bit odd. She then wrote a comment about having completed the task in the home school communication book. Which means she has read all through the numerous communications between me and her teacher. All friendly, nothing embarrassing, but I felt uncomfortable. Is this th I norm with parent volunteers or should I mention it to the teAcher, that o would prefer only staff to use the book?

Absolutely out of order. What is the teacher thinking of?

Thanks for all your feed back and comment. I'm afraid I spoke to the head about it,as I thought it best she could remind everyone about confidentiality. I tried not to mention names but she worked out who I was talking about. Bit worried it will be obvious I made a complaint about the pv, and the pv will get wind! What will happen do you think?

Kerala, you don't work in a school setting, do you? Do you have school aged children?

I wrote the confidentiality policy at my school and every volunteer was required to read it and sign a statement before being allowed to help in the school.

I would approach the school OP.

Any head teacher worth his/her salt will be very discreet about it. It should be cased closed for you and dealt with internally now. PV might not ever know, teacher will probably be told to use her more appropriately. Ultimately it's CT's responsibility.

Sorry Kerala, my page just uploaded and I see you've alredy answered those questions.
