Parents
Partnering With Parents
“And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)
God has granted parents the specific responsibility for the nurture of their children. This responsibility stretches beyond matters that may be deemed religious, to embrace all aspects of life including formal education. As such the educational nurture of children extends from the context of family.
In recognition of the vital partnership we share, parents are welcome and encouraged to be active contributors to their children’s schooling. This extends beyond traditional areas of involvement such as helping with reading groups, to participation in policy and planning. Teachers partner with parents in ensuring children grow and flourish to become all that God created them to be.
