Parental Involvement

Close cooperation between the parents and the school is necessary if the school is to succeed in achieving the goal for which it was established. All parents are expected to become active members in the Parent Association. Meeting dates are published in the school calendar. Through membership, parents can promote cooperation between home and school and can enjoy the social contacts which come from participating in various events and committees.

Parents are specifically urged to participate in the guidance-sponsored orientation programs for eighth and ninth grade students, the meetings for sophomores, upperclassmen meetings, and all scheduled parent-teacher conferences. Parents are also encouraged to contact the school to speak to teachers or arrange conferences as needed.

Parent cooperation is essential for the welfare of students. If, in the opinion of the Administration, parent behavior seriously interferes with the teaching/learning process the school may require parents to refrain from attending school events and/or withdraw the student from the school. Any parent/guardian who blatantly disregards school rules/policies or demonstrates any type of disruptive, threatening, harmful, or inappropriate behavior may be required to withdraw student(s) from Archbishop Shaw High School.
