The purpose of this Handbook is to communicate to families the policies of St. Isidore School. Our mutual dedication to these policies will facilitate positive community relationships. We offer a challenging academic program in a contemporary Catholic Christian setting. We strive to foster in all of our students a strong faith, the value of family, a commitment to excellence, a service-oriented attitude, and a positive selfimage.

We recognize the fact that parents/guardians have the primary responsibility for the education of their children and that the school exists to help the family accomplish this task. By selecting a Catholic school, parents/guardians choose a special kind of education, one in which they have the right and responsibility to participate.

At St. Isidore School, a student and his/her parents/guardians understand and agree to pursue the educational objectives and practices as stated in this Handbook and to observe the disciplinary code of the school.

The school can only build on what is offered in the home. Communication between the school and home is vital to the mission of forming a whole person. One of the unique advantages of Catholic schooling is the philosophy based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Let us examine and be understanding and supportive of our respective goals and unite our endeavors. In this way, we will gain mutual understanding and cooperation while pursuing our common goal, to provide a quality, caring, Catholic education for all our students.
