PARENTS/GUARDIANS’ RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SCHOOL:

Parents and guardians of the students in our school are part of our school system. They are welcome to the school to discuss the welfare of their wars and that of the school when they have need for this. Our school encourages them to be part of the system, to actively and constructively suggest ways for growth and improvement in the school. They are to provide what is needed for their children’s education such as school fees, books and other requirements. They are to show interest in their children’s schoolwork, check their notebooks, and discourage them from behavior that is counterproductive to their educational needs.
