Student - Parent Handbook

Parent-Teacher Fellowship and Conferences
Valuable help will be given at Parent-Teacher Fellowship Meetings. Parents need to call the school office to set up specific times for conferences. Scheduling usually begins about two weeks prior to the conference. The dates for these meetings will be listed on the school calendar. Policies vital to the consistent training of your child will be discussed. The nature of the meeting will vary, but the general objectives are as follows:

	1. To acquaint the parent with the philosophy of Christian education and the curriculum of the school
	2. To acquaint both parents and teachers with the importance of recognizing and adequately coping with emotional, spiritual, and disciplinary needs of the child
	3. To provide an opportunity for parents and teachers to know and fellowship with each other
	4. To provide the parents with an opportunity to see the achievements of the students and to see various students and classes perform in a planned program
