We, at Immaculate Conception School, consider it a privilege to work with parents in the education of children because we believe parents are the primary educators of their children.  Therefore, it is your right and your duty to become the primary role models for the development of your child’s life---physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally and psychologically.  Your choice of Immaculate Conception School involves a commitment and exhibits a concern for helping your child to recognize God as the greatest food in his/her life.

Good example is the strongest teacher.  Your personal relationship with God, with each other, and with the Church community will affect the way your child relates to God and others.  Ideals taught in school are not well rooted in the child unless these are nurtured by the example of good Catholic/Christian morality and by an honest personal relationship with God in your family life.

Once you have chosen to enter into a partnership with us at Immaculate Conception School, we trust you will be loyal to this commitment.  During these formative years (Pre-K to 8), your child needs constant support from both parents and faculty in order to develop his/her moral, intellectual, social, cultural, and physical endowment.  Neither parents nor teachers can afford to doubt the sincerity of the efforts of their educational partner in the quest of challenging, yet nourishing, the student to reach his/her potential.  It is vital that both parents and teachers remember that allowing oneself to be caught between the student and the other partner will never have positive results.  To divide authority between school and home or within the home will only teach disrespect of all authority.  If there is an incident at school, you as parents must make investigation of the complete story your first step.  Evidence of mutual respect between parents and teachers will model good mature behavior and relationships.

Students are naturally eager to grow and learn.  However, sometimes in the process of maturation new interests may cause them to lose focus.  As this natural process occurs, the student needs both understanding and discipline.  At times, your child may perceive discipline as restrictive.  However, it is boundaries and limits which provide a young person with both guidance and security.

It is essential that a child take responsibility for grades he/she has earned and be accountable for homework, long-term assignments, major tests, service projects, and all other assignments.  This responsibility also extends to times of absence.

Together, let us begin this year with a commitment to partnership as  we support one another in helping your child to become the best persons he/she is capable of becoming.
