            "PARENT CONTACTS"   

    THE WHOLE CHILD CONCEPT IN MODERN EDUCATION EMPHASIZES THE CONTRIBUTION

    OF PARENTS, AS WELL AS TEACHERS, IN THE EDUCATION OF A CHILD.  TO UNDERSTAND A

    CHILD AND TO MEET HIS NEEDS, A TEACHER MUST SEEK TO ESTABLISH  COOPERATIVE

    RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARENTS.

    WORKING WITH PARENTS IN PLANNING SCHOOL EXPERIENCES IS NOT A NEW IDEA.

    CHRIST-MAR SCHOOL ENCOURAGES PARENTS TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN CONTACTS

    AND RELATIONSHIPS WHICH FACILITATE THE BEST UNDERSTANDING AND GUIDANCE

    OF THEIR CHILDREN.

    REALIZING THAT THE SCHOOL NEED THE HELP OF THE PARENTS, THE TEACHER SEEKS

    FROM PARENTS THE BACKGROUND MATERIAL WHICH WILL HELP HER TO UNDERSTAND

    EACH CHILD.  HE/SHE DOES NOT SET HIMSELF/HERSELF AS AN EXPERT WHO WILL TELL

    PARENTS HOW TO REAR THEIR CHILDREN, BUT HE/SHE IS WILLING TO GIVE FREELY OF

    HIS/HER EXPERIMENTAL BACKGROUND.

    WE HAVE AN OPEN HOUSE DURING WHICH YOU MAY BECOME BETTER ACQUAINTED

    WITH OUR STAFF AND PROGRAM.

    FAMILIES MAY CALL WITH QUESTIONS, IDEAS, SUGGESTIONS, OR VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME

    AND ENERGIES TO TAKE PART OF THE PROGRAM.  WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL KEEP US

    INFORMED BY NOTIFYING US OF ANY SPECIFIC CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR CHILD

    AT THE CENTER.  IN TURN WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN WE THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW

    OF ANY SPECIFIC INCIDENT AT THE CENTER CONCERNING YOUR CHILD.  THE OFFICE WILL

    ARRANGE CONFERENCES WITH PARENTS AS NEEDED.  WE HOPE YOU WILL JOINT US

    DURING THE YEAR FOR VARIOUS PLANNED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS: PARADES, HALLOWEEN,

    CHRISTMAS, FUNDRAISING, THANKSGIVING, DONATIONS ETC...
