Parent’s /Guardians’ Commitment
 
  1. Timeliness/ Attendance- I understand that every school day is important and that it is my responsibility to get my child to school every day on time (8:00A.M.). If my child needs to miss school, I will contact the school in writing. I will never schedule family vacations during school time. I will avoid requesting early dismissal for my child.
  2. Support & Homework- I will always help my child in the best way I know how, and I will do whatever it takes for my child to learn. I will provide a quiet space for my child to study and, if necessary I will check my child’s homework every night.
  3. Independent Reading- I will insist that my child reads for at least 20 minutes a night (including both days of the weekend), and I will never sign a reading log for my child unless I have personally seen my child read.
  4. Communication- I will do all I can to maintain two-way communication with the school. I will read letters and notices received from the school and will return phone calls from school staff within 24 hours. If I am asked to attend a meeting regarding my child’s education or behavior, I will be there.
  5. Uniform- I will send my child to school every day in the WOLCS uniform.
  6. STARS, Behavior Expectations and School Rules- I will make sure that my child learns to live up to WOLCS’ behavior expectations (STARS) and the Code of Conduct. I know that I am primarily responsible for the behavior and actions of my child. I accept that my child may lose privileges or have other disciplinary consequences if he/she violates the STARS expectations or WOLCS Code of Conduct.
  7. Attendance at Parent Meetings- I will attend all required parent meetings, including Back-to-School night and three Report Card Conferences during the year.

Student’s Commitment
 
  1. My Best Effort- I understand that my education is important, and I will always work, think, and behave in the best way I know how and do whatever it takes for my fellow students and me to learn.
  2. Attendance and Timeliness- I will come to school every day on time (by 8:00A.M.) and stay until 3:30P.M. If I need to miss class, I will ask for and make up all missed assignments.
  3. Uniform- I will wear my WOLCS uniform properly every day and follow the school dress code.
  4. Homework- I will complete all of my homework and read every night. I will not offer excuses; I will seek the help I need to complete all of my homework in a top-quality manner.
  5. Communication- I will raise my hand to ask for help if I do not understand something. I will be responsive to my teachers and parents about any concerns they might have. Without delay I will deliver to my family notices and other communications sent from the school.
  6. Responsibility- If I make a mistake, I will tell the truth and accept responsibility for my actions.
  7. STARS, Behavior Expectations and School Rules- I understand the STARS behavior expectations, and I will live up to them everyday. I will follow all school rules so as to protect the safety, interests, and rights of all individuals. I understand that I may lose privileges or suffer disciplinary consequences if I break rules or do not live up to the STARS behavior expectations.
