Our Parents are Our Partners
We, at St. Louis School, consider it a privilege to work with parents in the education of children because we believe parents are the primary educators of their children. Therefore, it is your right and your duty to become the primary role models for the development of your child’s life—physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. Your choice of St. Louis School involves a commitment and exhibits a concern for helping your child to recognize God as the greatest good in his or her life.
Together, let us begin every year with a commitment to partnership as we support one another in helping your child become the best person he/she is capable of becoming.
Volunteers
St. Louis Catholic School depends on volunteers to help in the following areas: playground, lunchroom and kitchen help, room parents, chaperone field trips or dances, PTO functions and projects, teacher aides, school improvements, Scholar groups for students, and other areas not listed.
