PARENT/GUARDIAN PARTICIPATION
Among Saint Mary School’s basic principles is the active involvement of its school parents and guardians. Through participation in a variety of activities, the school’s parents and guardians are instrumental to the school’s vitality and to the growth of its children. The parent participation program respects the diversity of the talent pool represented by our school parents and invites each to share according to his/her own gifts. In addition to the direct support they provide, parent participation activities serve to introduce new families into our community. The generous contributions of school parents help to provide unique, vibrant, and enriching experiences for the children. Each family is annually encouraged to donate their time to promote the overall growth of Saint Mary School. Here are some examples on how you can help:
morning traffic safety monitoring (30 minutes per morning)
lunch time yard duty
field trip supervision
any activity in support of a fundraiser
additional activities in support of after school hour programs
assistance with class projects
participation on any school board or committee
donation of time and skills for plant maintenance and improvement VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers serve to enhance the school’s ability to provide for the students’ development and to benefit the school. They share their gifts and talents, serving in a variety of capacities, which include, but are not limited to: on the School Board and School Board committees, as a member of the Parent-Teacher Group and on PTG committees; on the Auction Committee, on the Technology Committee, on the Safety Committee, on Fiesta committees, as classroom assistants to teachers, as room parents, and as field trip drivers and supervisors. Volunteers serving in the school are expected to support and model the moral teachings of the Catholic Church and function faithfully within the mission and structures of the school, parish, and Diocese, exhibiting appropriate respect for those serving in ministries. Volunteers work in a collaborative role with others ministering to the development of the children and the school as an educational institution. Volunteers are asked to recognize confidentiality as a living principle and to respect the dignity of those with whom they work and come into contact. Volunteers accept responsibility to use contacts made through the school in such a way so as not to disrupt the peace, order, and tranquility of the school community. Should volunteers come into conflict on school/parish related issues, it is the responsibility of both to resolve the dispute through personal diplomacy and/or an executive decision by the school Principal and/or Parish Life Director. Any person who has a conflict with a school/parish volunteer outside the boundaries of school/parish activities must settle that dispute outside of and without involving or using school/parish resources. |
