We're in This Together

Today marks the first of two evenings of parent/teacher conferences at St. Croix. I'm sure many of you have attended similar such events in the past. But have you ever stopped to consider what makes a parent/teacher conference at St. Croix different from any other? Let me tell 'ya ...

We know that as teachers and staff, we are a critical extension of you. We understand that from the moment you drop your children off in the morning to the very minute you pick them up after school, they are in our care. We are responsible for their growth. We are responsible for showing them God's love. We are responsible for challenging them to reach ever-higher heights.

At St. Croix, it's about more than a child's performance in one class or another. It's about the big picture. Academic performance is important, but it's equally important to us that a child is growing in his or her spiritual and emotional maturity. And that makes all the difference.

Thank you for allowing us to partner with you on this rich journey.

See you tonight, beginning at 5 p.m.
