Parents
Christ Church School is proud of the relationships we create with our current and prospective families. In order for our school to be successful, it is important that parents be involved. Additionally, CCS has a set of established guideline we ask parents to follow in order to make each child's experience successful. These guidelines include:
Home
- Attend church regularly.
- Establish a consistent bedtime. Adequate sleep and a good breakfast help students perform well in school.
- Read aloud to the student.
- Having responsibilities at home encourages the student to accept academic responsibilities at school.
- Provide a quiet place and a regular time to do homework.
- Encourage independent work and study habits.
Home/School
- Regular attendance enhances the student’s ability to do well in school. Being on time to class teaches responsibility and contributes to the ease with which the class begins the day.
- Talk with the teacher concerning ways you can encourage reading, free play and other creative activities. Supervision of computer use, video games and television viewing is recommended.
- If the student has difficulty with an assignment, please inform the teacher so that appropriate help may be given.
- Parents of preprimary students are encouraged to go over work papers with the student every day and reinforce the skills taught. Talk with the teacher about ways to make learning fun at home. Educational games, family discussions and story listening times are just a few ideas.
- Notify the teacher or school office of changes or concerns in your home so that support and encouragement may be provided at school.
- Notify the school office of changes in address or telephone numbers.
- Please read notices sent home with the student and promptly return those requiring a reply or your signature.
School
- Students may bring a healthy snack (no nut products) to eat during holding time in the afternoon. Due to possible nut allergies, we strive to have no nuts or nut products on campus. Please do not send those items to school with your student.
- Birthday treats should be approved by the teacher for distribution in the classroom.
- Teacher permission is required before toys may be taken to school. Parents should use discretion in choosing those toys. Dangerous, disruptive or annoying items must not be taken to school. They will be confiscated. The teacher reserves the right to remove any object that is hindering the student or others from learning.
- Students should not bring large sums of money or other valuables to school. When a student must take a check or cash to school, place it in an envelope labeled with the student's name, teacher’s name, purpose and amount enclosed. The school will not be responsible for these items.
- Party invitations may be distributed at school only if all the boys and/or all the girls in the class are invited. Christmas and Valentine cards may be distributed only if all of the students in the class are included.
- Families will be informed of events and student activities with online monthly calendars and information posted on this website and through the Wednesday Weekly e-newsletter that is e-mailed to parents eachWednesday.
- Parents may leave a message for teachers during school hours. Teachers will return calls during their planning time or after school.
- Lost and Found items may be claimed in the school office. The student’s full name should be written inside the backpack, lunch box, clothing and other personal items.
