Thank You!
I would also like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to love your kid(s). I have truly enjoyed my time here. My last day in the office is June 25, after which, I will be using saved up personal days. God bless you all, and, in the words of the legendary cowboy Roy Rogers, Happy Trails to You!

Handbook Revisions

Electronic Devices
It is the parent’s prerogative, whether or not to provide their child with electronic devices. If you, as the parent, want your child to bring an electronic device to school, the device is to be kept in your child’s backpack. These devices will not be allowed in classrooms, lunch room, hallway, or playground, unless the teacher or principal. gives permission. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices.
Consequences
1st Offense-Device will be taken away, and brought to principal. It will be returned at the end of the day.
2nd Offense-Device will be taken away, and brought to principal. A parent must pick up the device, in the office.
3rd Offense-Student will not be allowed to bring the device to school.
Dispute Resolution Guidelines-NEW
As a Catholic Christian, if you have a concern or disagree with a decision made about your child’s instruction, discipline, safety or other matter, it is important to pursue resolution in the way that Christ instructs us.
Three questions to consider, before taking action, are
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Is it done out of love?
Dispute Resolution With Teacher or Support Staff
If you have a disagreement with a teacher or paraprofessional, contact them directly through a phone call or e-mail, requesting a meeting.
If that meeting does not resolve the issue, contact the principal, who will schedule a meeting with you and the staff member, to further work on a solution.
If that meeting does not resolve the issue, contact the Pastor.
Dispute Resolution With The Principal
If you have a disagreement with the principal, contact them directly through a phone call or e-mail, requesting a meeting.
If that meeting does not resolve the issue, contact the Pastor.
