Parental
Responsibility: The home is and always will be the chief
agency for the Christian training of a child. A Christian Day
School does not relieve parents of their God-given obligation
and responsibility. The home provides a Christian lifestyle,
regular church and Bible class attendance, and a devotional
prayer life. If the home and school are both Christ-centered,
the child is receiving the best education he or she can receive
anywhere. It is important that the home and the school work
together to achieve this Christ-centeredness.
Student Responsibility: Part of the process of education
is teaching children about personal responsibility and
consequences. Parents are asked to please support us as we do
this.
Communication and Cooperation: Active cooperation and
communication between parents, students, teachers, and principal
is necessary for the proper development of the child. Parents
are welcome and encouraged to visit the school for conferences
on matters pertaining to their child’s progress and welfare. We
believe that much good comes from the personal contact of parent
and teacher. Misunderstandings and misconceptions can usually be
avoided in this way. Parents seeking clarification on classroom
operation and problems that arise should contact the classroom
teacher immediately.
Communication, Written: Newsletters are published weekly
by the School, and most teachers in the lower grades send
classroom newsletters each week. Parents are encouraged to
expect their children to bring these weekly newsletters home on
the day they are received.
Parent-Teacher League (PTL): The purpose of this group is
to help the home and school work together for the welfare of the
students. There are a number of ways to participate in PTL.
Information is usually made available at Registration Day at the
beginning of the school year.
Volunteers: St. John Lutheran School welcomes adult
volunteers in many ways. If you wish to assist at St. John,
please contact your child’s classroom teacher directly. In the
case of general school volunteers,
please contact the principal. |
