OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED

SACRAMENT ACADEMY

 

 

Parents role in education:

 

We at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy consider it a privilege to work with parents in the education of children because we believe parents are the primary educators.  Therefore, it is your right and duty to become the primary role models for the development of your child’s life—physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, morally, and psychologically. Your choice of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy involves a commitment to helping your child recognize God as the greatest good in his/her life. Your personal relationship with God, with each other, and with the Church community will affect the way your child relates to God and others.  Ideals taught in school are not well rooted in the child unless these ideals are nurtured by the example of good Catholic/Christian morality and by an honest personal relationship with God in your family life.

 

Once you have chosen to enter into partnership with us at Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Academy, we trust you will remain loyal to this commitment.  During these formative years of Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, your child needs constant and consistent support from both home and school in order to develop morally, intellectually, socially, culturally, and physically. Home and school must unite in a concerted effort to help students reach their potential.  Evidence of mutual respect between parents and teachers will model good mature behavior and relationship.

 

It is important to remember that students are naturally eager to grow and learn, but as they mature, new interests may cause them to lose focus.  As this natural process occurs, the student needs both understanding and discipline.  At times, your child may perceive discipline as restrictive.  However, knowing that there are boundaries and limits will help provide a young person with both guidance and security and will teach them responsibility for one’s actions and choices.  It is essential to the development of children that they take responsibility for the grades earned, for their behavior,  and to also be held accountable for homework, long-term assignments, major tests, service projects and any other assignments. This responsibility also extends to times of absence. Together, let us begin this year with a commitment to partnership as we support one another in helping our children achieve their greatest potential. Let us give them, “Roots to ground them firmly, and wings to help them soar.”
