COVENANT
As a parent / guardian I realize I am my child’s most important educator. I further understand that my child(ren)’s teachers at school are dedicated professionals who make sacrifices to teach in a Catholic school. In order to demonstrate my cooperation and support for the school, and to guide my child on right paths, I will:
-
Ensure that our family prays and attends church together on a regular basis.
-
Express my unconditional love for my child(ren) daily in my words and actions.
-
Send my child(ren) to school properly fed, groomed, clothed, rested and equipped.
-
Monitor my child(ren)’s use of TV’s, computers, games, telephones and other media.
-
Keep track of my child(ren)’s company, whereabouts and activities at all times.
-
Get my child(ren) to and from school on-time and provide proper supplies for them.
-
Provide my child(ren) with any assistance needed for academic and social success.
-
Expect my child(ren) to use respectful verbal and body language and facial expressions.
-
Forbid my child(ren) to fight, bully, intimidate, tease, curse, whine or disrespect others.
-
Restrict my child(ren) from being near or possessing alcohol, illegal drugs or weapons.
-
Speak respectfully toward and about school personnel and others, even if I am upset.
-
Refrain from lying for my child(ren) or making excuses for his/her/their bad behavior.
-
Refuse to gossip, listen to gossip or make rash judgments related to the school.
-
Communicate directly, openly, honestly and respectfully to resolve disputes at school.
-
Adhere faithfully to the school’s schedules, policies, procedures and deadlines.
I understand that I teach my child lasting positive and (or) negative lessons through my own example, however, I choose to model respect, responsibility and reverence. Thus, I ask St. Philip Neri School and Church to support me in forming my child(ren) for good citizenship and the ways of Jesus Christ, the Savior.
