Vision & Expectations

Vision
  • The purpose of this whole University Model School is to give time back for families to actively disciple their kids.
  • The satellite days are designed to give you time back with your children. It is not something we outsource to tutors or other activities. It is through the satellite classwork that you have this extra time with your children.  
  • This model allows you to spend full school days with your children and leave evenings and weekends free to have quality family and church time. 
  • Be the adult in the room. Set the expectations at home and leave your problems out of the satellite classroom. 
    • This process will change the way you spend your days
    • This process will change you as a parent and you will have many, many frustrations and joys in this journey. Expect this.
    • This process will change your relationship with your child for the better
Expectations
  • Teachers are here for you! Your teacher is the first line of contact. Please communicate with them very often and let them know if you have questions. Please, do not wait! They are expecting open communication with you as the satellite teacher and this model does not work without it. 
  • Administrators are also available to help you in any way. However, please communicate with your teachers first.
  • Check your email EVERY DAY. Read and respond when appropriate.
  • Read the Knightly News EVERY WEEK.
  • Check the calendar EVERY WEEK. 
  • The clpsfamily.com website is full of information for you with details about all school events. 
  • Plan to attend Parent Seminar opportunities, Vision meetings and information sessions.
  • Each grade level has a website (and you found it!)
