PARENTS AS EDUCATORS Some parent responsibilities are:
To make sure the child arrives to school on time and is prepared for class. DIOCESE OF KANSAS CITY-ST. JOSEPH PARENT-TEACHER COVENANT Because our school strives to be a faith community, parent cooperation and good parents-teacher relations are essential. As members of a faith community, our first instinct is to assume that all of us, teachers, administrators, parents, guardians, and other caregivers, have the child’s best interest at heart. While the Preschool and the Elementary School are excellent in many ways, no one within our community is perfect and problems and misunderstandings will occur. When a problem or disagreement arises, we will make every effort to contact you to clarify the situation. Parents, guardians and family members who experience problems, or who are confused with some matter regarding your child's educational experience, are asked to show similar respect by: a) striving first to learn the reason behind a policy; b) inquiring about the teacher’s or school’s understanding or decision before judging or forming an opinion. Those who are not satisfied with what they have learned are asked to approach the administration to investigate the matter. In this way, positive resolutions can be reached. Parents and guardians are asked to follow these guidelines for expressing concern over our Preschool and Elementary School matter:
