SCHOOL-CAREGIVER RELATIONS GOALS

It is the general goal of the District to foster relationships with caregivers, which encourage cooperation between the home and school in establishing and achieving common educational goals for students.

While caregivers are individually responsible for their children, the District provides direct services of education and indirect services of childcare for students during the time when they are within the supervision of school personnel.  Consistent with these shared responsibilities and as appropriate to the maturity of the student, members of the school staff will consult with caregivers regarding student progress and achievement, methods to enhance student development, and matters of student conduct.

Additionally, involvement of caregivers in the schools is encouraged through regular communication with the school Principal and staff, the parent/teacher organizations, the school volunteer program, and other opportunities for participation in school activities and District programs.
