RESPONSIBILITIES OF PARENTS
The book of Deuteronomy tells us in chapter 4 that parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children. The school, the church, and the civic community support, enhance, and complement this role. Any successful educational program depends upon the cooperation and involvement of the parents with the school. Agreement to enroll your child(ren) in Blessed Trinity School carries certain parental responsibilities. It is expected that parents will:
- Be active in the faith development of their child(ren) and worship at Mass on weekends.
