As parents/guardians of a student at Bloomington Living Hope, we agree to actively support the school’s vision, mission, and goals of academic excellence and Christian teaching. We agree to encourage and reinforce these same values in our homes as well. We understand that the school is a Christian, Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) school, and this means that the school has prayer, biblical teachings, belief in Christian principles, doctrines, and ethics that are found in the Bible, and that the school follows and teaches the faith and doctrine of the WELS.

We understand that education is a joint responsibility between parents/guardians and the school, and that the school expects that we will model acceptable behavior to our children.

As parents/guardians, we understand and agree to:

• Support, in words and actions, the mission and philosophy of the WELS education.

• Respect the decisions made by the school administration, even if we disagree with them.

• Work in trust with the school for the common goal of achieving what is best for all.

• Communicate with the school in a supportive manner, which does not interfere with the administrative functioning of the school.

• Interact with the classroom teacher and all employees of the school in a positive and supportive manner, working collaboratively to support our child’s education and address any behavior issues.

• Support our child in all educational endeavors with praise, encouragement, and interest.

• Understand and model the importance of a parent/child/school relationship and communicate any concerns to the school in a constructive, appropriate manner.

• Observe, support, and adhere to the school policies as outlined in the Student/Parent

• Handbook.

• Support the school in its efforts to maintain a positive teaching and learning environment.

• Refrain from publicly challenging or “campaigning” against school decisions or policies.

• Encourage and model community building, positive relationships, and interactions.

• Value the school community and its reputation, and refrain from any offensive or derogatory comments regarding the school community, especially when engaging with social media.
