We, the staff of Falls High School, operate under the belief that for quality
education to occur, there must be a balanced cooperation between the school,
parent, student, and community. Without any one of these components in
active participation, quality education will be sacrificed.
The School has the responsibility to provide broad opportunities
for all students through:
Maintaining high standards of achievement
Assessing individual student needs
Providing quality instruction
Enforcing an attendance policy
Making clear the connection between school and the student's future
Cultivating in students the awareness, sensibility, and understanding necessary
to function in a culturally diverse ever changing world
Creating a positive environment to foster parent and community involvement
Encouraging and supporting cooperation between student, parent, school,
and community
The parent
has the responsibility to be actively involved in their children's education
and support them in their educational pursuits through:
Formal and informal parent/teacher contacts
Monitoring student progress
Knowing teacher expectations and grading procedures
Becoming familiar with handbook of school rules/policies
The student
has the responsibility to take advantage of opportunities provided and
will demonstrate this responsibility through:
Attending classes regularly
Producing quality work
Abiding by school standards of behavior and respect
Taking ownership of their own education
Demonstrating responsible citizenship through involvement in school and
community activities
The community,
recognizing that well educated youth are its future, has the responsibility
to support the student's education through:
Recognizing student achievement
Donating time and resources
Providing opportunities for learning outside the classroom
