Parent-School
Relationship
The education
of a student is a partnership
between the parents and the school.
Just as a parent has a right
to withdraw a child if desired, the
school administration reserves the
right to require the withdrawal of a
student if the administration
determines that the partnership is
broken.
As partners in
the education process at Good Shepherd
Catholic School, we ask parents to set rules,
times, and limits so that your
child:
-
Gets to bed
early on school nights.
-
Arrives to
school on time and is picked up
on time at the end of the day.
-
Is dressed
according to the school dress
code.
-
Completes
class assignments on time.
-
Has a snack
and lunch everyday.
Parents at Good
Shepherd Catholic School are committed:
-
To support
the religious and educational
goals of the school.
-
To support
and cooperate with the
discipline policy of the school.
-
To treat
all Good Shepherd Catholic
School staff, faculty, students
and other parents with respect
and courtesy.
-
To actively
participate in school activities
such as parent meetings,
conferences, and fund-raising
activities.
-
To see that
the student pays for any damage
they cause to schoolbooks, desk
or other school property.
-
To notify
the school office of any changes
in address, important phone
numbers or other home
situations.
-
To meet all
financial obligations of the
school.
-
To inform
the school of any special
situation regarding the
student’s safety and health.
-
To complete
and return to the school any
requested information, promptly.
-
To read the
Website (www.gsschool.org),
emails, school notes, and Ram
Review (Tuesday Envelope).
Time
and Talent
Good Shepherd Catholic
School parents understand that tuition only
pays for a portion of the cost of
educating each child.
Parents offset the additional
costs by sharing their gifts of
time, talent, and treasure with the
entire school community.
Gifts of time
and talent to Good Shepherd Catholic
School include a wide variety of activities
such as
playground supervision, room
parenting, assisting with field
trips, fundraisers, attending
parent/teacher conferences, etc.
Ways to volunteer will be
listed in the weekly bulletin (The
Ram Review) and in the
letters that classroom
teachers send home.
In an effort to keep tuition
for all families as low as we can,
we depend on each other to make this
possible.
Good Shepherd Catholic
School requires that all volunteers
complete the ‘Livescan’ process,
provide proof of being Tb free, and
signed acknowledgement of having
read the Diocese of Monterey Safe
Environment Program and the Diocesan
Policy Against Sexual Misconduct
before volunteering.
For information, please
contact the school office.
