Expectations of Parents

We recognize that as our children’s first and most influential teachers, we can promote their success and contribute to an excellent school if we make and fulfill the following commitments:

• We will establish high expectations for our students. We will not accept minimum effort or indifference to quality work.

• We will know what is expected in each of our student’s classes and communicate with teachers when we have a question or concern.

• We will insist on good attendance, as long as our child is well.

• We will provide a quiet time and place in our home for study.

• We will insist that our students accept responsibility for their learning and conduct.

• We will model the importance of life-long learning.
