ROLE OF PARENTS

To assist Saint Aloysius School in maintaining good education, there must be effective communication between parents, students, teachers, and the administration.  To help young people develop the self-control necessary to succeed to the best of their ability, parents are obligated to teach, and, by example, to develop in their children good habits of behavior as well as proper attitudes toward school.  To help children in school, all parents should:

1. Accept responsibility for their child/ren's Sunday Mass attendance; and live the Catholic values in the home. Parents who are Catholic must be practicing Catholics.
   

2. Realize that the children will come under the full authority of the staff while they are “at school” (this includes before and after school activities).
   

3. Teach and explain to children respect for law, for authority, for the rights of others, and for private and public property.
   

4. Talk with children about school programs and activities.  Share an interest in pupil progress.  Praise improvements demonstrated by the child on progress reports. Very often students who conduct themselves in a mature, responsible manner are not recognized for their appropriate behavior.  We usually take good behavior for granted and focus on students who misbehave.
   

5. Insist on prompt and regular school attendance and comply with attendance rules and procedures.
   

6. Make every effort to attend individual and group parent-teacher conferences.
   

7. Arrange a time and place for students to complete homework assignments.
   

8. Work with the school in a cooperative effort to carry out recommendations made in the best interest of the children.
   

9. Parents are asked to support any disciplinary measures set down so that the child sees the agreement between his/her parents and the school.  If you are notified about your child’s misbehavior, it is expected that you support us at home and provide meaningful consequences for your child. Besides the Schoolwide Discipline Plan, each teacher has set up a corresponding discipline plan for the individual class.  The plan is given to the parents at the beginning of the school year.
   

10. Explain and periodically review the bus behavior code with the children.
    

11. The Principal and/or Assistant Principal will be the final recourse in all disciplinary situations.  All these efforts will help to create the ideal atmosphere for your children - a safe, orderly school in which your children can receive the type of education they deserve.
    

ROLE OF STUDENTS

As students, you attend school so that you develop your individual capabilities to their full potential.  To accomplish this, each pupil at Saint Aloysius should:

1. Make a sincere effort to do his or her best work.
   

2. Develop personal standards of conduct that are reflected in socially approved behavior.
   

3. Accept responsibility for his or her own actions.
   

4. Respect the rights of others.
   

5. Obey school rules and regulations -- those made by school authorities.
   

6. Be regular and punctual in attending school and classes.
   

7. Observe Dress Code, which includes neatness and cleanliness at all times.
   

8. Girls' and boys' attire should be modest, in good taste, and appropriate for the classroom at all times.
   

9. The same good taste observed during school hours should be carried over in personal life.
   

10. Help maintain school property and keep the school free from damage and defacement.
    

11. Recognize that the teacher takes the place of the parent in school.
