HSA

The concept of the Home School Association emerged in the 1970's when the Church reaffirmed the primacy of the parents/guardians in the education of their children. This wisdom provided the platform for the development nationally of a formal Catholic school parent organization, the Home School Association. The Home School Association emerged as a group committed to promoting an educational community. The local unit of the Home School Association acts as an agent of communication between family and school.

 

Parents/guardians who enroll a child in Immaculate Conception School automatically become members of the Home School Association. Membership is considered both a privilege and a responsibility.

 

Together the parent/guardian and the school provide for the total education of the child, spiritual, physical, emotional, aesthetic and academic. Our school relies upon the parent/guardian to support its instructional programs and procedures, and to nurture the spiritual life of the child in our Catholic faith. The parent/guardian relies upon the school to develop the child to be an informed citizen and a member of the Church who is of service to others, and a model of Christ in the contemporary world.
