Parent/Family Involvement
Parent/Family involvement in their children's education is increasingly viewed as important for children's success in school, especially in the early years. Recognizing the value of sound home‑school relationships, Title I provides two Family Involvement Coordinators who conduct activities designed to increase opportunities for parents to become involved.
Activities include:
-workshops addressing needs and concerns of parents of primary and elementary school students, and junior high
-making positive contacts (home visits, phone calls, written contacts, school contacts) with parents so that they might feel more at ease working with school personnel,
-monitoring the performance of 3rd and 4th grade students so that they might offer materials and/or present workshops to help the parents address the needs of these students,
-and by providing a parish wide resource Center and schools offering written and electronic materials and resources, and ready to provide guidance and assistances
We want to bring to your attention an issue we’ve noticed on the school premises: the presence of swarming bugs. These bugs are in most cases harmless, but we understand they can be unsettling. Rest assured, we are taking proactive measures to address this situation. Our maintenance team is working diligently to eliminate the bugs and prevent any inconvenience to our students. In the meantime, we advise students to avoid areas where the bugs are present and to notify a teacher or staff member if they encounter any. Your child’s safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue.
