The school values the role of parents as their child’s first teacher and welcomes their active involvement in their child’s education. The school believes:
- Parents are partners and are needed to take active and meaningful role to ensure the success of the school.
- Parents must be meaningfully and actively engaged in their child’s education and responsible for supporting their child’s learning at home.
- Parents must also understand what it will take to prepare their child for college.
