Welcome to the Faith Elementary School Family. Your participation is appreciated.
I invite you to pray, as I am, that God will bless your child and your family for your decision to enroll him or her in Faith this year, or in whatever other school you select. We expect that, if you select FES, you will find us making earnest efforts to live up to the standards set forth in the Handbook and on the website. If your child will study at another school next term, be sure to prepare for and initiate appropriate transfer and registration procedures on time.
The first pupil day for this term will be August 29, 2011. The initial tuition payment installment is due August 1, 2011. We pray for your success.
Faith is interested in parents who are serious about student scholastic achievement and good student conduct. Our teachers and staff enjoy knowing that they are working for parents who have realistic expectations about their child's abilities and behavior. Even if, in your view, your child needs growth in some area, we can work with him or her successfully, as you as the parent recognizes the need for development. When a parent is in denial, we consider this a problem for the child as well as for our teachers.
God has blessed our school with a competent and committed faculty and staff. This is one of the reasons thinking parents would select a specific school for their child. It is difficult for a parent to work with a teacher he or she does not respect professionally. Over the years our school family has worked very hard to develop a record of professionalism, modeling Christian living, and responsibility to all of our students and families.
It is important that each parent study the school standards and expectations. We realize that having good and positive relations with parents is essential for us to be successful in training their child effectively in academics and citizenship. We simply must be on the same page.
While we look forward to adding new students and parents to our school family annually, we must respectfully assert that we are willing to respect a parent's decision to select another school for their child if the parent believes he or she has reason to feel that our program is not satisfactory or likely to meet the family's expectations and needs. However, since we are here together, we should do all within our power to work together for the benefit of your child and other children and families involved in the school.
Sincerely in Christian faith,
David L. Jones, Administrator, Emeritus
