EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Role of the School The St. Tammany Parish School Board and its employees in the St. Tammany Parish Public School System are charged with providing high-quality educational opportunities for the students of this parish. The System daily works to address the varied educational needs of students and to provide a safe, productive school environment for learning. Educators and System administrators know that these goals are best accomplished with the cooperation and support of students and their families. Maintaining open, constructive communication between school and home in a climate of mutual respect is vital to meeting the needs of the students in this School System. School officials will work closely with students and their families to promote student success. Role of the Student Students learn best when they set high goals for themselves, work hard to achieve those goals, and conduct themselves responsibly in their school work and actions. Students need to adopt these practices to help ensure their success. Attend all classes daily. Be punctual. Be prepared for class with appropriate working materials and completed homework. Be respectful to all individuals and property. Be clean and neat. Be responsible for their own work. Abide by the rules and regulations of the school and School System Maintain a positive attitude. Conduct themselves in a safe and responsible manner. Role of the Home Most agree that "the children's first and best teachers are their parents." The School System recognizes that student achievement is impacted greatly by the level of parent participation in a student's education. The value of a strong partnership between school and home is immeasurable, but sure, and parents or guardians are asked to adopt these basic practices to help school personnel work with students. Maintain regular communications with school teachers and school officials concerning their children's progress and conduct. Ensure their children are in school, on time, every day. Promptly report and explain to school officials any absence or tardiness. Assist and require children to be neat and clean. Notify school officials of any problem or condition that affects their children or others at school. Discuss report cards and school assignments with children. Assist children in assuming responsibilities at school. Maintain for school officials up-to-date home, work, and emergency telephone numbers and all other emergency and health information throughout the school year. Send children to school ready to learn.
