GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS

To facilitate the cooperation needed between the home and school, the following guidelines may be helpful.

  1. If your child comes home upset about a school situation, we ask you to listen openly to the child. We would caution you not to offer an opinion until you have contacted the teacher involved in the situation. The discipline in the
    action is one of calm and passive listening. The time taken for communication will show the interest in the child’s viewpoint which, at the same time, demonstrates the need to view the situation as completely as possible.
     
  2. If you disagree with a teacher 's action, please express your disagreement and concern directly to the teacher. Your cooperation and support are necessary for an effective discipline and guidance program. It is very possible that a misguided statement can undermine our program, but, more importantly it places the child in opposition to the teacher and may result in defiance and disrespect.
     
  3. Your interest in your child reinforces his/her interest in school. If you feel your child is not working to capacity, contact the homeroom teacher in order to arrive at a mutually agreed upon program. The most effective means of assisting your child’s scholastic growth can be checking homework, reviewing for test, inquiring about projects, test results, school activities, etc.
     
  4. Responsibility, like respect, is something caught more than just taught. If we exemplify responsibility, our children will practice it, too. We are not always able to communicate personally. Therefore, we ask you to read each communication and respond promptly if necessary.
     
  5. The Faculty Room is only for the use of teachers and staff unless arrangements have been made with the principal in advance.
