The directives outlined within the handbook are designed to ensure a positive, healthy environment where educational growth can occur with freedom and order. For this reason, all students, along with their parent(s) or guardian(s), are required to read and verify in writing “that they have read and agree to adhere to the policies and regulations herein.” (Diocesan Handbook 4.01C). The handbook verification form can be found on the Notre Dame Preparatory website. In order to reach our stated goals and objectives regarding the development of a well-rounded individual, Notre Dame Preparatory expects all families to support the rules and regulations stated in this NDP Student/Parent Handbook.
