Can parents get involved?
Yes, yes, yes. In fact, we think the education of your child will be greatly improved if you will choose to be involved. Many opportunities exist for you to get involved. Some of these opportunities include network parents, field trip chaperones, lunchroom volunteers, and committee members. There are many additional opportunities as well.
What are the expectations of parents?
We exist as an extension of the home. The ultimate training of your child is your responsibility; we simply exist to help you. Because of this we ask that you model at home the type of lifestyle that we wish for our students to exemplify. We also ask that you make it a commitment on your part to communicate both with us and with your child.
What are your discipline policies?
We use a code of conduct that students and parents must agree to follow.
