Parent Commitment
- I agree with the mission statement of the school and will do my part to assist in its success.
- I will ensure that my daughter arrives to school each day by 7:30 am, and stays each day until 3:30 pm and only misses school in unavoidable circumstances. I understand that if my daughter fails to attend school on a regular basis that the school will notify CPS and that my daughter may be at risk of promotion to the next grade level.
- I understand that bringing my daughter late to school or picking my daughter up early for reasons other than a medical appointment is unacceptable. I will make every attempt to schedule appointments during school breaks, first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid missing too much school time.
- I will send my daughter to school each day in a complete and clean uniform.
- I understand that my daughter must follow all Brighter Choice rules to protect the safety, interests and rights of all individuals in the classroom. I am ultimately responsible for the actions of my daughter.
- I will fully support the school's discipline system and supportively accept any decisions to suspend my daughter. I agree to go to my daughter's school immediately if she engages in unsafe or destructive behavior.
- I will monitor and sign my daughter's behavior log and homework every night to ensure that it is completely thoughtfully, carefully and on time.
- I understand that I am a stakeholder in my daughter's education and I agree to participate in the school life of her education.
