Parents and guardians play an important role in the education of their children and have a responsibility to support the efforts of school staff in maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment for all students. Parents and guardians fulfill this responsibility when they:
show an active interest in their child's school work and progress;
communicate regularly with the school;
help their child be neat, appropriately dressed and prepared for school;
ensure that their child attends school regularly and on time;
promptly report to the school their child’s absence or late arrival;
keep the school informed of those conditions of health or welfare which affect their child’s involvement in school and its curriculum;
become familiar with the Code of Conduct and school rules/procedures;
encourage and assist their child in following the rules of behaviour while in school, on their way to and from school, or while engaged in school-related activities; assist school staff in dealing with disciplinary issues
You, the parent, play the most important role in ensuring that your child succeeds at St. Marta Catholic School: you have the greatest influence on your child, and you know your child best. I thank you—our partner—for your efforts in supporting your child’s education.
