Parents as Partners
Just as the parents look to the school to
provide the facilities and the trained personnel
that are essential to their child’s proper
development, so the school looks to the parents
to assume active responsibilities that cannot be
delegated to others.
No school can be wholly effective in teaching
the values of religion and the virtues of
honesty, respect for authority, consideration
for the rights and property of others, and
standards of personal morality and integrity
unless these principles have been established,
upheld, and valued in the home. If parents
cooperate with the school, instill respect for
the integrity of its teachers and
administration, and actively support their
authority in the home, this is likely to be
reflected in the positive attitudes of their
children.
Parents are asked to take an active role in
their child’s education by:
-
assisting their
child in his/her academic and moral
development by carefully reviewing class work,
test results, progress reports, and report
cards
-
supervising home
study; and reinforcing school policies.
-
explaining and
reviewing periodically the school behavior
code with their child. Parents should discuss
school disciplinary episodes in relation to
the school behavior code.
-
recognizing their
child’s talents and interests so they may be
developed in cooperation with the classroom
teachers.
-
seeing that the
dress code, including gym uniform is
enforced, and insisting that children dress
according to Christian virtue.
-
insisting on
their child’s regular school attendance and
punctuality and on complying with attendance
rules and procedures.
-
making all
tuition and fee payments on time, and
participating in fund-raising activities.
-
providing proper
supervision at home, and not tolerating
harassment, inappropriate or violent behavior,
or viewing of such in videos, movies, song
lyrics, and on the Internet.
-
teaching their
child respect for law, for authority, for the
rights of others, and for public and private
property. This includes showing respect for
the work of others by not tolerating cheating
in any circumstance.
-
arranging for a
time and place for their child to complete
homework assignments.
-
working with the
school in a cooperative effort to carry out
recommendations made in the best interest of
their child, including those related to
educational evaluations and counseling.
-
attending all
Parent-Teacher Conferences and Home-School
Association meetings.
-
by always
interacting in a respectful manner when
speaking with or about the administration,
teachers and staff of the school. Verbal abuse
or physical harassment may result in your
child being required to withdraw from the
school immediately or not being allowed to
re-register for the following year.
The education of a
student is a partnership between the parents and
the school. Just as the parent has the right to
withdraw a child if desired, the school
administration reserves the right to require the
withdrawal of a student if the administration
determines that the partnership is irretrievably
broken.
Parent
Organizations
A Home-School Organization provides an effective
channel of communication between parents and
teachers for the benefit of the students and the
whole community. Its main purposes are:
-
to create mutual
support and understanding between home and
school, and thus bring about a total learning
environment for students
-
to provide a
means for keeping parents informed of school
activities, programs, etc., and if any, parent
service requirement
-
to assist the
school in meeting its financial obligations,
primarily through fund-raising activities
-
to provide adult
education programs.
