PARENTS
We strive to give our students the joyful experience of our Catholic Christian faith as it is lived out in our school and parish family.
The students' interest in receiving a quality, morally based education can be served if students, parents, and school officials work together. It shall be an express condition of enrollment that the students and parents/guardians shall conform themselves to standards of conduct that are consistent with the Christian principles of the school, as determined by the school in its discretion.
These Christian principles further include, but are not limited to the following:
• Parents/guardians are expected to work courteously and cooperatively with the school to assist the student in meeting the academic, moral, and behavioral expectations of the school.
• Students and parents/guardians may respectfully express their concerns about the school operation and its personnel. However, they may not do so in a manner that is discourteous, scandalous, rumor driven, disruptive, threatening, hostile, or divisive.
Please see CODE OF CHRISTIAN CONDUCT COVERING STUDENTS AND PARENTS/GUARDIANS on page 6 and 7 in the student handbook for further information.
