Dear students and families of St. Joseph,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 2008-2009 academic year. Thank you for being an active part of a Greenville legacy since 1888. At St. Joseph we remain committed to educational excellence for the mind, body, and soul.

The Catholic Church has repeatedly affirmed parents as the primary educators of their children:

Parents have the original, primary, and inalienable right to educate their offspring in conformity with the family’s moral and religious convictions. They are educators because they are parents. At the same time, the vast majority of parents share their educational responsibilities with other individuals and institutions, primarily the school.
                                                                   - Holy See’s Teaching on Catholic Schools

We at St. Joseph Catholic School are delighted with your decision allowing us to share in the educational responsibilities of your wonderful child!  Please afford us the benefit of your counsel as to how we can better attain our mutual educational goals.  We look most forward to working with you.

This Parent/Student Handbook defines the expectations and policies of the school’s partnership with our students and families.

It is requested that all students and parents read the
Handbook in its entirety, keep the Handbook on your computer desktop for quick reference, and then print, sign and return the agreement forms at the conclusion of the Handbook.

Thank you and God bless you and yours.

Regards,

Paul C. Artman, Jr.
Principal
