​​St. Genevieve Elementary Schools Catholic Code of Conduct for Parents/Guardians

As my child’s most important educator, I understand that I teach my child best by my own example of reverence, responsibility, and respect. I ask St. Genevieve Elementary School to assist me in forming my child as a disciple of Jesus Christ. I understand that my child’s teacher is a dedicated professional who makes many sacrifices to teach in a Catholic school. In order to show my cooperation, support, and thankfulness:

 • I will have my child in school on time every day with the necessary school supplies and appropriate dress.

• I will monitor my child’s telephone, computer, and television use, as well as movies and magazines my child views or sees.

 • I will not tolerate vulgar, sarcastic, or catty language from my child or bullying, violent, or aggressive speech or behavior. I will set a good example in my own speech and behavior.

 • I will show respect for the teacher and any other adult in authority in front of my child at all times, regardless what I may think of their actions or say to them in private.

 • I will never lie to the pastor, the principal, or the teachers, or other school personnel to protect my child from the consequences of his/her behavior.

 • I will stop rumors. I will work to contribute to a unified environment. 

• I will go to through the proper channels when I have a problem. 

• I will speak respectfully and with kindness and courtesy to other parents in front of students, especially when there is any disagreement.

 • I will speak to the teacher or adult in charge before I accept my child’s version of an incident. I know the good of all children comes before my child’s needs or wants.

 • I will follow the school’s rules, calendars, deadlines, and expect my child to do the same even when I may disagree.

 • I will build a bridge of acceptance and understanding, and expect my child to do the same, among the different cultures represented at St. Genevieve Elementary School.

 • I will pledge to do my best to work toward a united and peaceful school environment.

 • I will not participate in demonstrations against the school, its personnel, or decisions.

 • I will uphold this Code of Conduct at all school-related functions including but not limited to conferences, meetings, academic, or athletic events, plays and any other school sponsored program.

​With the example of the Holy Family and the help of God, I will abide by this Code of Conduct while my child is enrolled at St. Genevieve Elementary School.

I have read this Code of Conduct and will support and abide by this Code. I will also ensure that any relative or friend who acts as my agent in any capacity understands this Code and will agree to support it.

 I understand that if my actions or the actions of anyone I assign as my agent are deemed by the school’s administration to be in violation of this Code I may be required to withdraw my child from St. Genevieve School and I will cooperate with that decision. 

Each family signs a parent agreement annually. A family can be asked to withdraw from the school for violations of the parent agreement.
