St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School Parent Partnership Agreement

As the primary educators of their children, parents/guardians freely make the choice of a Catholic education for their children. Registration and acceptance at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School constitutes an agreement by the parent/guardian to accept and abide by the rules and regulations of the institution and to support its philosophy of education.

A cooperative relationship between the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School personnel and a parent/guardian is essential for the overall education of a student. It is critical that a cooperative relationship be maintained through constructive dialogue with the parent/guardian. St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School is in full compliance with all policies of the Archdiocese of Atlanta as posted in the Policy Manual for Catholic Schools. Parents and students are agreeing to comply with not only the school’s stated policies in the handbook, but also those of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

If a parent/guardian refuses to abide by the policies and rules of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School or, by word or action, is unsupportive of its goals or otherwise fails to meet his/her obligations under school or archdiocesan policies, the administrator may require the parent/guardian to withdraw his/her child or children from St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School.

Additionally, parents/guardians will be held to the same standards of respect as students in regards to their interactions with administrators, teachers, staff, and students. Please review this handbook carefully with your child/ren. If there are areas that you feel you cannot support, please ask to discuss these with the Principal before the first day of school.
- I agree with and support all that is outlined under the expectations of students.
- I agree with and support all disciplinary standards of St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School.
- I agree with and support all school policies, including those in the sections pertaining to the Volunteer Handbook and Aftercare Handbook.
- I understand the importance of strong parental support of all school policies and regulations, and I am aware of and support the consequences that will result from a failure of compliance.
- I commit to the Parent Partnership of Faith, which reads as follows:
I understand that, by entering this agreement, I agree to embrace the mission of St. Catherine of Siena School fully and intend to enter into full partnership with our parish faith community as a responsible steward and disciple of Christ by giving my time, talent, and treasure generously. Signing of this handbook is an acknowledgement of the acceptance to be governed by the rules, regulations, conditions, and requirements of the school as stated in this Handbook as well as those policies of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

I understand that failure to embrace fully this partnership may have a bearing on future enrollment for my children in St. Catherine’s Preschool and/or St. Catherine’s School.
