RESPONSIBILITIES OF TEACHERS, STUDENTS, AND PARENTS
St. John School maintains high expectations and counts on each student to do his/her best. In order for that to happen, teachers, students and parents must work together. It is the teacher’s responsibility to show respect for each student; to set appropriate criteria, guidelines, and deadlines for class and homework assignments; to monitor and grade student work and report as necessary to administration and parents.
It is the student’s responsibility to show respect for teachers, staff, volunteers, visitors and fellow students; to set appropriate time aside to study for tests and quizzes; to do assigned homework and project work on time; to bring necessary materials to class and home; to follow teacher directions. Students are not to return to school for forgotten items such as texts, notebooks, reports, uniforms, etc.
It is the parent’s responsibility to provide adequate time, space and materials for the student to do homework and projects; to monitor homework, review and sign papers as requested by the teacher; to insist that the student assume responsibility for his/her work. It is also very important that the parent prevents the student from committing to too many extracurricular activities that interfere with homework time. Changes/exceptions in school work may only be made if the child has an IEP and according to St. John School discretion
