Parent Involvement

Christian education is a partnership between parents and the school. Parents are valued as active partners and are encouraged and expected to be involved in the school experience of their children, to assist them with school work as necessary, to provide positive home conditions for learning, and to attend and participate in conferences, concerts, and special presentations. 

There are numerous opportunities for parental involvement at school, such as assisting with class trips or special class activities, serving as tutors for students, volunteering in classrooms, office, library, serving on advisory teams, and assisting with PTO projects, events, and fundraisers. Specific information about these opportunities can be obtained from school staff. Educational research continues to indicate that parental involvement is essential to provide students with an excellent academic program.
